In normal operation, it can't.
Off the top of my head, the only thing that comes to mind is that the watch has received a shock of some kind, and the "tachy" hand (the chronograph seconds recording hand) has slipped relative to the rest of the movement.
I would suggest repeating this, but lay the watch down flat dial up for a day while letting the chronograph run, and see if they are still synced.
