More about IWC:

The Doppelchronograph's split-seconds complication was implemented in the early 1990s.  This technically challenging complication, which had been unseen for decades, was recreated by Austrian watchmaker, Richard Habring, who was in house at IWC at the time. 

This ingenious design showed that the rebirth of watchmaking was happening not only in the upper-echelon of watch manufactures, but also in smaller watchmaking companies throughout Switzerland.  It also came at an important time for IWC, when it was splitting from Porsche and was eager to introduce the pilot collection alongside the Portofino and Da Vinci collections.
