The timer takes 10 ms longer than the interval

Question

I use a timer with an interval of 1 second. But in the timer event, when I print the time, always 62 or 65 ms. I do not understand why it takes 10 ms more.

Please can someone take a look at this.

Here is the code I'm using:

static int _counter;
var _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000);
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();           
    _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
    _timer.Start();            
}

private void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("{hh:mm:ss.fff}"));          
    _counter++;
    if (_counter == 20)
        _timer.Stop();
}

And this conclusion:

{01:59:08.381}
{01:59:09.393}
{01:59:10.407}
{01:59:11.421}
{01:59:12.435}
{01:59:13.449}
{01:59:14.463}
{01:59:15.477}
{01:59:16.491}
{01:59:17.505}
{01:59:18.519}
{01:59:19.533}
{01:59:20.547}
{01:59:21.561}
{01:59:22.575}
{01:59:23.589}
{01:59:24.603}
{01:59:25.615}
{01:59:26.629}
{01:59:27.643}
