What's the difference between chronometer and chronometric?
Chronometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring time; a timekeeper.
(n.) A portable timekeeper, with a heavy compensation balance, and usually beating half seconds; -- intended to keep time with great accuracy for use an astronomical observations, in determining longitude, etc.
(n.) A metronome.
