My favourite detail here: the correct scaling of three subseconds on the dial.

Many, nearly all manufacturers, put five subseconds on the dial regardless the beat ratio of the movement. As this one beats at 21.600, three subseconds are correct, which makes it a true and uber cool chrono!

I had not noticed this before.

Thank you for pointing this out. Can you explain this a little bit more, please? Is this because the 21,600 results in 6 beats per second or 3 oscillations and is that why there are or should be three has marks on the seconds track? Am I understanding this correctly?

Correct: six steps per second. The second hand will either stop clearly on a subsecond mark or clearly between two marks. [nt]
