The title may be a bit too obscure.

If you look closely at the picture, which has a two second exposure time, you can see that the second hand has 16 distinct positions. If you do the math, you get 28,800 vibrations per hour.

Awesome! Should be 8 per second, and if you look very close you can see 8 ticks per second.
