The dial aperture has a minute disc that runs continuously and functions like a flyback chrono. When you press the pusher, the disc flies back to zero and starts counting the elapsed minutes again. It was used to time the expiration of 1 hour parking meters back in the day! Love quirky watches like this:)

How do you start-stop it?

Can’t stop- It’s always going 😂but if you’re looking to time something, just press the pusher at the 2 o’clock position and the the entire disc flies back to zero and starts counting again!

That's a rare find! I hope that I come across one, someday 😍
