The Stopwatch is a sub weapon that Alucard obtains in Castlevania: Mirror of Fate. When used, it will temporarily stop time and slow enemies down.
It is based on the traditional Stopwatch sub-weapon from the classic games.
Description
Among the most demented inventions of the Toy Maker is the Stopwatch. Made with vampire plasma and powered by blood, they release their sinister magic when broken, slowing time in the immediate vicinity.

Trivia
- The Toy Maker seems to have developed the Stopwatch's spell mechanics due to observing how Dracula's blood magic works.
- It is the only incarnation of the sub-weapon to be powered by vampire blood.
- The Stopwatch is a nod to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, as it is the only traditional sub-weapon that Alucard can use in the game.
- Alucard's later ability to reconstruct elements of Castlevania in Revelations is based on this item, but rooted directly in his vampiric abilities rather than using a secondary tool.
