There were no requirements on the stopwatch per se, we just decided to go to 60 minutes, because most commercial stopwatches are only 60 minutes.

For the massive amount of wires, well that is the price you pay for using breadboards. While it is easy to connect wires and other stuff to breadboards, it gets messy pretty quick, there is no avoiding it.
