11 de noviembre de 2025

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian painter and scientist of the European Renaissance, symbolizing human intelligence. He left behind many timeless masterpieces and valuable contributions in various scientific fields. In the 500 years since his death, humanity has continued to study and explore his legacy. Countries across Europe and North America, as well as Israel and other Asian nations, have established dedicated institutions to research da Vinci. His homeland, Italy, regards him as a symbol of national culture.

To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s passing, S.T. Dupont unveils this new limited edition as a tribute to the enduring values it has embraced since 1872: the fusion of technical mastery and the creative inspiration of artisans.

This collection not only honors the innovative spirit of the Renaissance but also reflects the brand’s relentless pursuit of harmony between art and mechanical precision. Every engraving and process embodies the exceptional craftsmanship of S.T. Dupont, transforming each piece into a masterpiece where art meets technology.

This new limited edition collection strives to recreate the expressive intensity of da Vinci’s original drawings made with pen, ink, and wash on paper. The warm Havana tones of natural lacquer contrast with precious gold engravings to create a richly layered visual appeal. The Ligne 2 lighter is intricately adorned with da Vinci’s iconic sketches, capturing the essence of Renaissance artistry.

Its signature twin cigar flame delivers an ideal lighting experience, while the distinct “cling” sound upon opening—a hallmark recognized by connoisseurs—adds to its allure. Each piece comes with a numbered certificate and is housed in an exclusive presentation case, limited to just 1,490 units, making it a prized collector’s item.

The fountain pen features a solid gold nib, allowing ink to flow smoothly through the natural lacquer and gold body. Each piece showcases the Vitruvian Man, whether through intricate engraving or hot stamping. This collaboration on such a refined object reflects ST Dupont’s tribute to excellence without compromising on superior craftsmanship.
