TONINO LAMBORGHINI: OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF PURO TALENTO ITALIANO The success of a brand has its raison d être in its history. The stages throughout its progression towards success let one develop an understanding of the reasons behind its evolution and growth. When one enters into contact with the world of Tonino Lamborghini, one meets part of Italian history, an original part which has allowed us to diffuse our style. In 1981 Tonino Lamborghini designed and branded his first watch. Reinterpreting the historic values and symbols which characterised his family, Tonino Lamborghini breathed life into a new prestige brand. Drawing inspiration from his preceding professional experiences in the fields of engineering and design, he extended the concept of luxury to products capable of evoking a world based on technology and innovation: watches, eyewear, perfumes, fashion accessories, furnishings, apparel lines created with the best quality and most sought after materials, a coordinated universe of style which expresses Puro Talento Italiano. The creative spirit, the passion for the design and for the technology are the values that Tonino Lamborghini transformed into a personal style, which has since become synonymous with originality and luxury, appreciated worldwide for that typically Italian spirit capable of rendering every item unique. Gritty, passionate, inventive, elegant: Tonino Lamborghini incarnates the power of Made in Italy style worldwide. Ufficio Stampa Gruppo Tonino Lamborghini: Rita D Andrea dandrea@lamborghini.it
