Because it ticks off the seconds. The other two are called the hour hand and the minute hand.

It's not second as in "2ND" there is a minute hand and a second hand which indicates how many SECONDS go by.

Think for a second, you get the answer. (This question may be a second hand question, if it has been asked before)

If you start counting from it, it would be the first hand. But more to the point, because it demarcates seconds.
