The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante Edition Boutique Canada is limited to 150 pieces and only available in Toronto
A rattrapante is a chronograph that features a split-seconds mechanism. Therefor it is also known as a double chronograph (or fly-back second chronograph in the old days, which is something else than a flyback chronograph), as they have two hands. One for the intermediate time and one for the ongoing time. An invention from the 19th century by Adolphe Nicole.

The word ‘rattrapant’ comes from the French word ‘rattraper’ which means the act of recovering or recapturing.
