2025年9月17日

In 1872, Mr. Simon Tissot-Dupont founded the prestigious French brand S.T. Dupont. Among its very first clients were Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, instantly earning the Maison recognition from royalty, diplomats, and distinguished figures of the era. Today, S.T. Dupont continues its legacy as an official supplier to the French government. The brand was even commissioned by the French Minister of Culture to create a bespoke lighter bearing the letter “J” as a tribute to the First Lady of the United States, Jackie Kennedy.

In 2012, to celebrate its 140th anniversary, S.T. Dupont unveiled the magnificent “Second Empire” Limited Edition collection. Inspired by the refined artistry of the Second Empire period, this exclusive series revives the grandeur and imperial elegance of the era of Napoleon III through exquisite patterns and craftsmanship.

The intricate, refined engravings on both the pen and lighter showcase S.T. Dupont’s timeless mastery of craftsmanship. Adorned with the iconic “Double D” emblem, each piece radiates the essence of French luxury and grandeur.

The pen’s clip and cap are crafted from premium bronze, meticulously hand-sculpted by master artisans. The intricate court-style relief carvings come to life with breathtaking detail, then finished with a layer of fine gold plating. The result is a creation of regal splendor, worthy of royal collections — a testament to why S.T. Dupont has long been admired by aristocrats and distinguished figures worldwide.

This exceptional lighter is based on the iconic Ligne 2 model, enhanced with S.T. Dupont’s renowned contemporary lacquer. The timeless silhouette merges seamlessly with the brand’s mastery of lacquer artistry, embodying sophistication and refinement. To elevate its regal allure, eight exquisite rubies are hand-set with precision, their radiant brilliance adding a touch of majestic grandeur.
