Congratulations, you just saw things out of order. Your brain did not receive input for the period of time when your eyes were in motion towards the clock, so it lied to you and filled in the missing data after the fact once it started getting visual input again.

...but it still put it before the hand moved, so it's still sequential, even if the gap was filled in with something that didn't happen (the hand standing still) rather than my brain guessing that the hand moved once before the one I saw, isn't it?
