My observatory is solid gold, my non observatory is plated. Yes, the junghans, aristo, and lemania stop watches are mine.

The way it works is the same mechanism as the standard reset. The split-second hand is not connected to the main chrono train by gears. Instead, it has a spring pushing against a hammer that pushes up against the heart cam on the normal second hand. In normal operation, the tension in the spring keeps the hammer engaged on the heart cam, and the hammer is physically connected to the split-second hand, so the split second hand runs. When the pawl closes, the wheel connected to the split-second hand is held in place with more force than the spring holding the hammer in place is able to exert, so the hand stops, and the hammer starts sliding against the heart cam. Once the pawl is released, the spring on the hammer now restores the split-second hand to being in line with the normal chrono hand. This explains why the split-second hand appears to whip around a bit - it is essentially undergoing a chrono reset, but instead of the heart cam moving and the hammer staying fixed, the heart cam stays fixed to the chrono second hand (which is in turn held in place by the chrono gear train), and the hammer, spring, and wheel holding the split second hand move to be in line with the heart cam.

Since it's swiss made, there's a decent chance it could be a recognizable manufacturer like landedon, lemania, or Venus. But it could also be some no-name, 1 jewel movement, which is unfortunately probably more likely.
