The flyingseconds dial at 10 o’clock goes around in one second on a scale marked in hundredths of a second, making it theoretically possible to time an object moving at 360,000 km/h, or approximately 1/3000ths of the speed of light. One ingenious feature of the flying-seconds hand is that it can be stopped anywhere
