No. The third (or second) hand does not tick. It is a floating movement hand and should not have a distinguishable stop between seconds.
The short hand is the hour hand. The longer hand is the minute hand. If there is a third hand, it is very thin and very fast. That would be the second hand.
It is the long hand.
The third hand on a watch is called the second hand because it counts the seconds in a minute. The first hand is the hour hand, the second hand is the minute hand, and the third hand is the second hand.

The minute hand is the largest hand on most analogue clocks. At 3 o'clock on a 12-hour clock, the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. It measures time to the nearest minute by advancing one of the small minute hash marks every 60 seconds. Every time the second hand makes one full sweep of the clock face, the minute hand advances one of the minute marks. The second hand is the fastest moving hand on a standard analogue clock, making one full sweep every 60 seconds.
