The watch riddle

 

While looking at my watch, I noticed that the minute hand was about to line up with the hour hand at about 14:10. So I wondered about the pointer alignments. At 12:00, as we know, the hour hand is covered by the minute hand, How many more times does this happen during the twelve hours, and at what time, to the nearest second, after 12:00 does the next alignment of the hands take place?
