The hands are what I suppose you could call virtual, they seem to exist under the crystal. they sort of dissolve and reform as the modes change but they have no real meaning to the blind. You just feel these vibrating points as your fingers pass over the position of the hands along the edge of the crystal just inside the position of the number markers on the rim around the edges of the crystal also known as the bezel. When sighted people look at the watch they see hands through the crystal.
