+====== IWC 76240 ======
+The **76240** is an [[hand-winding]] [[rattrapante]] [[chronograph]] movement produced by [[IWC]] based on the [[Valjoux 7750]] from [[1995]] through [[2004]].
+===== Details =====
+The [[Valjoux 7750]] movement was extremely important to the resurgence of [[IWC]] and the basic design remains in use today. The company has used it for many important innovations since the 1980's, including a [[perpetual calendar]], [[rattrapante]], and [[grande complication]]. The 7750 [[ebauche]] was used for the [[IWC 7900|790 family of movements]] and the basic architecture is the basis for today's [[IWC 69000|69000 family of movements]]. In [[1991]], IWC released an innovative [[rattrapante]] chronograph, [[IWC 79030|Cal. 79030]], designed by [[Richard Habring]].
+In [[1995]], IWC created a novel variant of the 7750 base. **Cal. 76240** dispenses with the calendar and most of the [[chronograph]] functions of the 7750, leaving only the 30 minute recorder at 12 00 and adding [[small seconds]] at 6 00 instead of the usual placement at 9 00. This modification was anything but simple, however. Relocating the running seconds required cutting away part of the movement base plate and adding an all-new bridge with three [[wheel]]s and a tension spring. Removing the calendar plate required the creation of a new plate to cover the [[gear train]]. Next, Habring's [[rattrapante]] design was added. A final modification was the removal of the automatic winding mechanism in favor of a simple [[hand-winding]] works.
+This movement powered the [[IWC Portugieser Chrono-Rattrapante 3712|Portugieser Chrono-Rattrapante, Ref. 3712]]. It was produced from [[1995]] through [[2004]].
