S.T. Dupont presents Horse, an exclusive collection that celebrates the Chinese New Year under the sign of the Fire Horse. This offering embodies charisma, majesty and passion, universal symbols of nobility and freedom, reflecting the energy and thirst for discovery characteristic of this new lunar cycle.
Composed of three distinct lines —Access, Premium and Haute Création— the collection pays tribute to free spirits through a design that fuses tradition and innovation, highlighting artisanal mastery and cultural symbolism. S.T. Dupont thus reaffirms its position in the world of luxury with an offering imbued with meaning and refinement.
The Premium line focuses on goldsmithing, featuring the iconic Line 2 lighter and the Line D Eternity writing instruments, available as a rollerball and a fountain pen. Both are adorned with guilloché that evokes the mane streaming in the wind, a meticulous detail that pays tribute to Chinese tradition and excellence in Asian craftsmanship.
Meanwhile, the Access line uses red lacquer, the emblematic color of the Chinese New Year, with deep black as its base. In this series, the Fire Horse motif decorates the Slimmy and Slim 7 lighters, the Initial ballpoint and a cigar cutter, combining functionality and symbolism in accessible pieces within the luxury segment.
The Haute Création line presents seven exceptional pieces that reinterpret the spirit of the Fire Horse with noble materials such as gold and diamonds, honoring the fire element of the new lunar year. A bronze horse with motifs of ancient China is the centerpiece of this series, featured on a Le Grand Dupont lighter and a Line D Eternity XL fountain pen.
This line represents the pinnacle of S.T. Dupont‘s craftsmanship, where innovation meets traditional techniques like guilloché and goldsmithing to create luxury objects that transcend time and cultures, reaffirming the brand’s international relevance in the luxury sector.
Founded in 1872 in Faverges, France, by Simon Tissot Dupont, the house maintains its original workshops, a symbol of its commitment to quality and tradition. Initially devoted to the manufacture of luxury carriages, the firm evolved into leather goods and travel accessories for the elite, consolidating itself as a reference of French savoir-vivre.
Among its historical milestones is the creation of the first luxury lighter in 1940, inspired by a commission from the Maharaja of Patiala, and the patronage of figures like Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn, who chose its pens and handbags. Mastery of techniques such as guilloché, goldsmithing and Chinese lacquer continues to be S.T. Dupont‘s distinctive hallmark today.
The Horse collection stands out for its meticulous craftsmanship and deep cultural symbolism, elements that position it as a reference among luxury collections dedicated to traditional celebrations. The combination of ancestral techniques with precious materials and contemporary designs underscores S.T. Dupont‘s ability to innovate without losing its essence.
This launch strengthens the brand’s international presence in the luxury segment, consolidating its prestige in the manufacture of objects that combine functionality, art and symbolism—qualities valued in the global market of the luxury magazine and Luxury Magazine.
With the Horse collection, S.T. Dupont reaffirms its legacy as an emblem of timeless elegance and artisanal excellence, integrating tradition and modernity into pieces that celebrate cultural richness and the spirit of renewal of the Chinese New Year.
