It's amongst the fairly impenetrable marketing text for the watch Jeff:

The innovative two-part dial's semi sub-counters at 9 and 3 o'clock have "doubled" hands: on the 3 o'clock, for example, the first part of the hand displays 0 to 15 minutes when the other part of the same hand passes under the upper dial.

Though I, for one, have to confess I'm not sure what that actually means!! I think it's one I might have to see in action before I can grasp how it works...
