After more than fifteen years of dedicated leadership, Pierre Jacques has announced his decision to step down from his executive role at De Bethune, effective this summer, to focus on new personal and professional ventures. He will remain closely involved with the brand as Honorary President and will lead a seamless transition in collaboration with co-founder and master watchmaker Denis Flageollet and De Bethune’s Executive Chairman Justin Reis. Appointed CEO in 2011, Pierre Jacques played a pivotal role in accelerating De Bethune’s development, helping to establish it as one of the most respected independent maisons in Swiss Haute Horlogerie.
