How long does it take for the second hand of a watch to move 1 micron?

The second hand makes one full revolution in 60 seconds. The distance travelled by the tip depends on the length of the second hand - this is the radius of the circle. For example, for a 10-centimeter second-hand (the clock has a diameter of about 20 centimeters - that's a clock like you would typically see on a wall), the speed of the second-hand's tip is (2 x pi x radius) / 60 seconds = 2 x 3.14 x 10 / 60 or about 1.05 cm/second.

What is the big hand on the clock called?

The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.
