The
famous luxury brand known as
S.T. Dupont gets its name from the owner who started the business at 25,
Simon Tissot-Dupont. Simon was a son of millers who was born in Savoy, and became known as one of the most
elegant brands of pens and lighters. The company is known for its
limited edition pens and lighters that were made specifically for celebrities of the time such as:
- - Al Capone discretely dispatched his second in command to S.T. Dupont
- - Princess Elisabeth of England was given a wedding gift made uniquely for her
- - In 1952, a special lighter was made just for the Duke of Windsor
- - Other specialty items were made for the Duke of Kent, Maurice de Rothschild, and many others
In addition to making
custom unique pens for celebrities and the elite, S.T. Dupont is also known for its
innovation with many items that were first of their kind. For example, in 1941, the company created the
first pocket petrol lighter and patented the
adjustable gas lighter. Also, they are known for creating the
first luxury jewelry pen, raising the bar for luxury and limited edition pens.
