So, it's a mess!!

Oh no! It's an analog-digital watch. The hour hand rests on the X until the minute hand completes the next hour. Guess what happens then. The hour hand jumps to the XI

Thanks Günter, I had not thought such a 'classic' watch design would behave that way.

As each full hour is completed, it must be quite a noticeable jump when the Hour-, Minute- and Second-hand all jump at the same moment.
