The Four Majestic Arts of S.T. Dupont

S.T.

Each product category is a testament to the brand's iconic savoir-faire, with rarities such as Chinese lacquer, precious metalwork, and the finest leathers.

Recognition and Distinctions

In 2012, S.T. Dupont's commitment to excellence was formally recognised when it was awarded the prestigious EPV Label (Enterprise du Patrimoine Vivant) by the French Ministry for the Economy, Finance, and Industry. A nod to the company's outstanding traditional and industrial skills and a guarantee of quality for consumers worldwide.

Innovation and Iconic Products

Among its catalogue of iconic products, the Ligne 2 lighter stands out for its unique "cling" – a sound that resonates with luxury and has become synonymous with the brand. Introduced in 1976, the lighter's distinctive sound was initially considered a flaw. However, it soon became a cherished feature, emblematic of the lighter's design and engineering excellence. The Ligne 2 lighter, with its Microdiamond Head guilloche and options for platinum, yellow, or pink gold finishing, also showcases S.T. Dupont's goldsmith know-how and mastery of precious materials.
