In 2002, David Zanetta, a collector with a passion for art, history, and timepieces, decided to join forces in founding De Bethune with Denis Flageollet —a fourth-generation descendant of watchmakers. Today, after stepping down and ceding all his shares, David Zanetta is long gone from De Bethune and Pierre Jacques along with Giovanni Perin —a private equity investor— are now leading the brand better than ever. Each year for a few hundred fortunate connoisseurs around the world, De Bethune offers timepieces with captivating designs like the one we have here.
