Phoenix - 2013 Limited Edition of 888 pieces and the "Tournaire" Edition of 88 pieces
- The Phoenix is the second of the most well-known and revered mythical beasts in Chinese cosmology. The Phoenix was traditionally associated with the Chinese empress, but was available for use by all women. In the Chinese tradition, the Phoenix is an enormous winged bird that dwells immortally in the highest regions of heaven. The Phoenix comes to earth to presage great events for human beings. In the more modern interpretations of Chinese symbolism, such as the practice of feng shui, the Phoenix can be used as a symbol of one's greatest aspirations: the birth of a child, the accomplishment of a formidable task, the building of a lasting monument, and so forth. The Phoenix can thus be depicted in areas of the home where the impetus to create or accumulate the greatest treasures in life occur. Associated with the sun, a Phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.
The S.T. Dupont Phoenix Limited Edition gives this glorious creature new life through a worldwide edition of 888 fountain pens and 888 rollerball pens. The "Tournaire" fountain pen comes on a bronze stand in a black lacquered wooden case. The pen, either fountain or rollerball, is made in red Chinese lacquer with a bronze phoenix wrapped around it with seven sapphire stones and yellow-gold finish on the pen's body.

Revelation - 2013 Limited Edition of 888 pieces
- In 2013, S.T. Dupont was inspired by a micro-mechanics theme – and celebrates the precision engineering inside two of its most technically innovative designs: the Line 2 lighter and the Élysée pen. Both are iconic S.T. Dupont products, combining inventive mechanics with the work of master engravers and lacquerers in a seamless sheath of sophistication.
The Revelation Limited Edition series brings the schematic details of these instruments’ inner workings to the surface. The designs are guilloche-engraved with a palladium finish, contrasted by S.T. Dupont’s signature black lacquer inlays and silver powder finish. In the Revelation Limited Edition, the artistically-rendered guilloche designs change depending on whether the pen is the 18-carat solid-gold nib fountain pen, the rollerball or the ballpoint pen version, and the articulated clip was designed to stand up to 70,000 manipulations.
American Art Deco - 2013 Limited Edition of 1930 pieces
- Since the beginning of the 20th Century, Art Deco has influenced many areas of design, architecture, fashion, jewelry, painting, graphics, and film. It is an eclectic form of elegant and stylish modernism, and S.T. Dupont created the Néo-Classique American Art Deco Limited Edition as a tribute to the vision of its practitioners.
This particular S.T. Dupont edition was designed using Chinese lacquering and goldsmith techniques, with the shaping of rare and precious metals. The ornamentation, craftsmanship and fine materials are weaved in a distinctive art nouveau that was later implemented into American art deco. William F. Lamb is one of the greatest American artists who influenced and innovated this Americanized art form, extremely visible in one of his greatest creations — the Empire State Building.
Meteorite - 2013 Limited Edition of 888 pieces and "Made to Order" Prestige Edition
- S.T. Dupont once again excelled themselves in innovating and crafting a magnificent, Limited Edition collection created using the Gibeon Meteorite, an element that has fallen to the earth from space. The Gibeon Meteorite, which entered our atmosphere approximately 30,000 years ago, is known as the ‘King of the Irons’ because of its incomparable stability and beauty. The Meteorite was named after the Namibian town near to which it fell. The Line D Premium Limited Edition is crafted in black lacquer and coated in Gibeon Meteorite powder. These exclusive pieces are highlighted in palladium and limited to just 888 pieces, making them incredibly rare and covetable.
The Prestige Edition is made entirely in the meteorite material and is available in a made to order basis.

Skulls Roses / Cowboy / Celtic - 2014 Limited Edition of 111 pieces in each variation
- A collaboration between S.T. Dupont, "2 saints” and Tournaire introduced a new artistic collaboration, the Skulls Collection.
"2 saints“ is a collaboration between George, a young French-American creator, and Fred Saint Romain, a French director who brings Art & Design know-how and holder of the prestigious “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” label (Living Heritage Company). Both met in New York through a deep and common interest for the artistic universe of "Vanities" (a European artistic movement extending from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century), Rock & Rap music and Marvel super-heroes.
"Vanities", in their modern approach, continue to put humans in front of their mortal condition and maintain the idea of death as an inescapable outcome. Nevertheless, an ornamental dimension is allied to a mortuary object: the skull. The skull becomes an object found in art workshops for it’s "design“. An inexhaustible source of inspiration, the cult of skulls seems to have crossed ages and became an essential accessory. In Mexico, we also find artistic manifestations on the occasion of the Day of the dead.
S.T. Dupont decided to represent the Skulls Prestige collection through 3 themes: Roses, Celtic and Cowboy.

Skull - Rose Fountain Pen |

Dupont honours the legacy of the Orient Express with a beautiful and rather unique collection.
