What's shown by changing positions of hands? Different poses fit a game (7,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passage of time

'what's shown by changing positions of hands?' is the definition.
(as in clock hands)

'different poses fit a game' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator.
'poses'+'fit'+'a'+'game'='posesfitagame'
'posesfitagame' is an anagram of 'PASSAGE OF TIME'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
