The hand that you need to pay attention to, among these three hands, will rise above the other two, and point to an index on the 0-3-6-9 sector. Picture a piece of luggage that rises out of a hole and up onto a conveyor belt for you to see, before receding back down into a hole. It doesn’t rotate in planar fashion though.
