In the 1930s, a maharajah commissioned a gold lighter as part of his travel accessories. This object, which thus combined beauty and utility, was to become an overwhelming success with various models; the first Dupont lighter was born. With this exceptional edition, S. Dupont reflects on its history by presenting a limited edition that evokes the splendor of the Orient.
The combination of a unique and centuries-old technique in the art of engraving, embossing, inlaying, ornamentation and burnishing, with the avant-garde technology of its subtle mechanisms, produces an exquisite line coupled with a perfect harmony of tones. An immense luxury for an oriental dream.
