In this gauge, two layers are used.  Most of the objects that do not change are on the background layer, while the objects that change are on a separate layer.  This is to help the gauge render in minimal time. 

The top three ellipses make up the gauge's frame.  Together they form a 3-dimensional effect using gradients.

Two separate tick mark objects are used, one for the tick marks with labels and one for the tick marks without.

The text in the background layer (the first layer) is "RPM x1000."  The changing text, which shows the gauge's value, is in the second layer.

The last ellipse covers the top part of the needle.  Although it doesn't change, it is in this layer so that it could cover part of the needle in this layer.
