Chronograph Scales

I just received a vintage stopwatch (not a Heuer, it is a Minerva). The hands of the stopwatch make a full revolution in 60 seconds, but the number 100 appears at the 12 o'clock position, not 60.

Curious about the scale and what the watch may have been used for. Most stopwatches I see have either 60 or 30 at the 12 o'clock position.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tom
