I prefer the aesthetics of the larger, centered sub-dial (as do the Dornbluths) so am pleased they make this modification to the 99.1. However they still offer the 99.0 with an unmodified sub-dial.
Here is an extract from the Dornbluth web-site:
After some time, the two master watchmakers found that the caliber 99.0 with its small subsidiary second needed a somewhat more harmonic face. The pure design of the Cal. 99.0 was supposed to be continued nevertheless in the dial. Different issues had been in consideration, but the increasing of the small “second” played the favorite role.

The four hands are two pairs:
Hours and minutes for the time,
minutes and seconds for the chrono.
Everything is controlled via the crown.
Movement is an adaptation of a 7750.

That aspect of it is very clever.

I'm curious as to how you start and stop and rezero. I think if you bought one you might feel tempted to get someone to do a more stylish dial

Maybe it works like Pam's monopusher? First push starts the chrono,second push stops it,third push to reset

That's certainly my assumption of all monopushers

And I suppose the crown has a slight click when in first position, to replicate this sequence

There should be a clear distinction from setting the time (crown pulled out) and starting the chrono,otherwise everytime you're done setting the time,you will start the chrono by pushing the crown in
