====== Split-second hand ======
The **Split-second (or rattrapante) hand** is a second stop-watch hand in a [[rattrapante]] [[chronograph]].

The second stop-watch hand is dragged along with the [[chronograph]] hand. It can be stopped independently by pressing a button in order to measure lap times. After another push of a button it will bounce back under the chronograph hand to continue in conjunction with it. Hereby the measurement of other intermediate times becomes possible.
