Tonino Lamborghini Spyder Leggero Chronograph Automatic watch in rose-gold hues. $4,920.
This year, 2021, marks the 40th anniversary of Tonino Lamborghini S.p.A. Style and Accessories company. It was started by second-generation of the Lamborghini dynasty, Tonino Lamborghini, when he was looking to create newly designed products that embraced the spirit of Italian design and boasted the Lamborghini family story. The luxury company created sunglasses, leather goods, and so much more, including watches. In fact, today, the Tonino Lamborghini watches are designed in Italy and made in Switzerland — and are finally available in the US market. The watches run across several collections and boast industrial designs that deftly blend bold watchmaking with racecar inspired aesthetics.
Today, under the vigilant eye of third-generation Ferruccio Lamborghini as CEO, the brand’s timepieces continue to push design limits. Among its watch collections: the Spyder, a shield-shaped watch inspired by the brand’s Miura raging bull emblem. In fact, Ferruccio has created eight distinct timepiece lines that are all about audacity, fearless pioneering and a bold daring that stands out in a crowd.
