: hands do , when in use,

Actually, the watch is simpler than it looks.

The normal hour minute hands tell the time.

When the chronograph is running, the second hand counts the seconds and the several smaller dials count minutes and hours. When you stop the chrono, you can see the total elapsed time by adding the various subdials and second hand together. Pressing a button then returns all the hands (except the hour and minute) back to 0.
