Crossword Genius

Winner of an inaccurate timepiece? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gainer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'winner' is the first definition.
(someone who has gained something)

'an inaccurate timepiece?' is the second definition.
(if a clock gains, it becomes fast)

'of' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
