French term or phrase: mains
Da un testo relativo a orologi da polso (una sorta di catalogo online):

Aiguilles: La sélection d'un cadran vous donnera automatiquement les mains correspondants.

Cercando mains, cadran e horloges trovo molti riscontri e mi pare di capire sia qualcosa che ha a che fare con il movimento meccanico, ma non saprei come si chiama in italiano.

alla fine ho trovato la risposta in un altro forum, dove un madrelingua mi ha spiegato che mains è senz'altro un errore di traduzione dall'inglese hands, perciò in questo caso aiguilles e mains significano entrambe lancette.
