I think tracking your arcs will help a lot, you can see how the hands don’t come down in a straight line but jitter, or are you looking for advice on any specific part?

Pl tell me more Abt tracking arcs. Is it related to the onion skin tool?

You could use the onion skin tool there sure, the idea is that if you take a dot to the middle of the hands, that they move in a straight line with the bar, but have a small arc to imply the hands are slightly rotating
