To be honest there are no real motivations, I just thought that a splitter
could be a further feature.
But indeed it's useless, at least if not used for a particular use case
(see Thomas suggestions).

I've just pushed a <test> branch without splitters, for a quick feedback
look here: http://abload.de/img/kronometer-no-splittevdklc.png

If you want instead a "single display" without the dividers between
hours/minutes/etc, then I can push another experimental branch <test2>.
Something like this older version:

But since now kronometer has those "header" labels above the numbers, I
would need a tabular layout and from my earlier tests I remember that it
looks ugly.
