Zannetti was founded in 1982 by Italian watchmaker Riccardo Zannetti. Based in Rome, the Italian brand has a focus on handmade and personalized timepieces. The first boutique opened in 1990, with additional locations and dealers currently in other parts of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and in the US.
Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, and Giuseppe Farina
The Time of Drivers collection was launched in 2001, and the first two prototypes were dedicated to Alberto Ascari and Juan Manuel Fangio. In addition to Ascari (ref. TDRA1.C1S-R.A and TDRA1.C1S.A) and Fangio (ref. TDRF1.C1S.A) editions, the current collection also includes Farina editions ref. TDRF-A1S-R.1.R and TDRF-A1S-N.1.R) that are dedicated to Giuseppe “Nino” Farina. The exclusive timepieces feature miniature paintings done by hand, a lucid steel case, a crown engraved with a Dunlop tread pattern, and a gear lever-shaped reset pusher. A unique Farina Gold Edition (ref. TDR.C1S.OA) was also created.
