[giwobpij] Watch with second hand only

Create a watch with a second hand only, no minute or hour hand.  Essentially a very simple continuously running stopwatch (that doesn't stop), for people who need just that function.  (They get minute-resolution time from a cell phone, for example.)  The simplicity allows it to be constructed more cheaply than a traditional watch, no need for 60:1 gears.

Inspired by a doctor needing to measure pulse.
