S.T. Dupont, French excellence
Published on · Updated on
When he founded his house, Simon Tissot-Dupont was making prestige leather goods; it was not until 1952 that S.T. DUPONT applied that expertise to the art of fire and patented its gas lighter, which is still a success today. In 1973 the brand turned to the art of writing, creating its first luxury pen. Three years later the house returned to its original trade, leather goods.
S.T. Dupont, a French brand that excels in luxury
Remarkable quality, mastery of its craft and standards pushed to the extreme have earned and still earn this brand worldwide recognition. In leather goods the range is divided into several contemporary lines and revisits its classics, combining restraint with a classical feel.
The lighters are shaped from a single block of metal, each engraved with a number that makes it a unique piece. On some lines the attention to detail extends to the sound of the opening: the famous "cling" is listened to carefully by a craftsman in the pursuit of perfection. The choice of materials and the expertise passed down from one generation to the next underpin the quality of the lighters made by S.T. DUPONT.
The S.T. Dupont collections
In its Premorium and Prestige collections, S.T. DUPONT uses the most precious materials, such as mother-of-pearl, alligator skin, diamond and solid gold, to create exceptional pieces of goldsmithing. Bringing together the various skills acquired over time has produced a wide range of belts, jewellery and accessories, and pieces that are more remarkable still.
Every object from this great house combines reliability with precision. The search for function, the attention to detail and continuous innovation give S.T. DUPONT its elegance and its timeless quality. The contemporary design and the classical world it draws on suit every way of life. Prices vary according to the object you are looking for.
