      you're missing some includes,

      in this case add:

      #include <QElapsedTimer>

          That should go in the header file

              That's not due to the #include could you post your code?

                  Can't see anything obvious (but I might just be blind). could you post your stack trace at the moment of crash?

                    ah,

                    in your watch.h add #include<QElapsedTimer> and in your watch.cpp intilize it with m_elTim = new QElapsedTimer(); it's missing from @VRonin code example
