Yes, my dad told me that long ago, the part with the radioluminescent hands... but he also said they only emitted alpha rays already blocked by the glass. Of course if you ingest that stuff or get it into your mouth... ouch!
My current wrist watch seems to have had such hands once... but they don't glow in the dark any more, they just react to UV light. No idea how old it is, it's a quartz wristwatch my grandmother gave to me (it once belonged to my grandfather).
