"In this type of chronograph, a second secondhand, commonly referred to as a flyback hand, is superposed on the sweeping hand of the chronograph. When the chronograph pushbutton for starting the stopwatch is pressed, the flyback hand remains superposed on the sweeping hand. A first press of the split-time pushbutton causes the flyback hand to stop, while the sweeping hand continues its sweep. A second press of the split-time pushbutton returns the flyback hand to the sweeping hand."

I think we all know what's coming!!! A NEW CHRONO!!!

The invention furthermore relates to a method for the preparation of a phosphorescent ceramic composite material as defined in any of the previous claims, the method comprising the following steps: preparing a mixture of a metal oxide and a phosphor; fabricating a green body from the mixture; and heat treating the green body in a reducing atmosphere."

In other words, a luminous material embedded into a ceramic bezel!
