The Cuscinetto model dates back to 1983 when Tonino Lamborghini created one of his first timepieces taking inspiration from a specific mechanical element, the ball bearing (in Italian, cuscinetto). He created this model using a special bidirectional rotating bezel with a design that recalls the mechanical element used to reduce the friction between two moving parts. The ball bearing is the connecting ring between the first and the new timepieces collection, the founder Tonino and his heir Ferruccio, the past and the future. In fact, as Tonino donated the first Cuscinetto to his father, so did Ferruccio with the new model he has redesigned to carry on the familys tradition.
