I believe the hand has slid out of position in the tube. The second hand will have to be removed and repositioned and possibly the tube needs tightening. I'm sure someone with greater know how will be able to shed more light on your problem soon. Good luck!

No need flyr, you got it in one.
This will require a watchmaker to stake the hand probably as simply removing and resetting it is likely to result in the same thing happening again.

Is there a glue that can be used to set the hands into place? Is this a technique any watch smiths use? I did manage to glue a seconds hand once pretty well into place by mistake, I painted it and it had a trace of fresh clear coat inside the tube when it was set, that glued the thing pretty well into place.
