Swiss mechanical automatic with a limited production of 2,000, this being numbered #1,847 with a 40cm diameter unisex bi-colour face, a date window at four o'clock and sporting the Lamborghini Bull shield. Water resistant to 100m, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. Words from the creator, below'What in an axial watch? It is the successful combination of watchmaking craftsmanship and mechenical inspiration. It is a timepiece who's perfect automatic mechanism in contained in a case with an axial bearing as the rotating bezel. This original solution turns the watch into a unique piece of jewellery, precious and powerful, protecting sturdily the face of the watch and guarding its precise mechanism with an almost jealous attitude.The story of the axial watch began with a man, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had intelligence, entrepreneurial flare and the eagerness to excel in anything he did and a son who adored him very much.The son grew up, witnessed his father's achievements. Their loving relationship made him understand the fondness of his father for anything that is mechanical, for any moving parts.One day father and son were walking on the shop floor of the Lamborghini car plant.Together they were surveying the engines that were being built by hand by the skilled mechanics employed at the plant. Ferruccio stopped, all of a sudden, in front of a bench where the gleaming axial bearings were ready to be fitted. They were shining, perfect, laid out in order like a disciplined platoon of soldiers ready for battle. Ferrucia turned to his son Tonino, pointed at the bearings and, threw an arm on Tonino's shoulders said almost causally 'Funny, they are so beautiful they almost look like jewels. I wish I could do something different with them. It is a pity to hide them under the bonnet of a car'.Tonino had good memory.Some time passed and, when Ferruccio decided it was time to retire and enjoy the life he had chosen to live in the country. Tonino took charge of the Group of companies, expanding them and setting up new ones.For his father's birthday in the year 1983 Tonino made the trip to his father's farm, La Fiorita, a beautiful property in Umbria. In the seat of his car, next to him, was a square box beautifully wrapped. Upon arrival Tonino was greeted by his father and the many friends who had come to join in the celebrations. When the birthday cake was cut and the well wishers cheered Ferruccio, Tonino asked for a moment of silence and gave his father the box he had kept hidden all the time, saying semi seriously 'This is the one thing you have always wanted and never had'.Ferruccio looked surprised: there were very few things in life that he had wanted and watch shone in the bright sunlight of that distant day of April 28th 1983. Ferruccio stood silent for a minute then looked at his son and proudly said 'You did it. You found a way to use my axial bearings without hiding them in a car engine. Now I can wear one right on my wrist' and, like any father proud of his son's achievements. he wore the gold watch on his wrist and showed it around to friends and relatives. And he never took it off since.The story of the watch is a true one. A limited number was then produced and they were sold exclusively upon booking.With the coming of the year 2000, Tonino Lamborghini has allowed production of the axial watch to resume once again for a limited quantity and for collectors around the world. There is just one major difference between this axial watch and the one that Tonino engineered for his father many years ago: an engraving on the watch case reads 'Ferruccio 2000'.These two words say it all: a great watch for a great man in what promises to be a great year.'Click here for more details and images
