Dupont name is known for quality, well-made cigarette lighters and other luxury implements. The company’s origin can be traced to Simon Tissot-Dupont opening his workshop shop in Paris in 1872 after his previous one burned down. The production of lighters started in 1941 with their first petrol lighter. Over time, S.T. Dupont became famous for manufacturing the world's most complicated and sophisticated luxury lighters. Even to this day, the iconic name carries its legacy. The Ligne 2, launched in 1972, has become the iconic S.T. Dupont lighter. The “Cling” sound produced by its opening is a true sign of recognition among insiders. Each lighter needs 600 operations, 300 controls, 70 parts, and 100 hours of work to be made. This Gold Ligne 2 S.T. Dupont lighter features a stunning and rare brushed palladium design. It has perfect edges, no engraving, and almost no wear from all those years (a little wear can be seen on the top). This lighter has just been fully overhauled and serviced, so no leaks and lights every time! The iconic "cling" sound is very clear and is guaranteed to spark curiosity. 100% original, not a cheap replica. All in all a beautiful lighter, ready to be a daily carry for many years to come and a must for every collector or enthusiast! Will be sent insured and with tracking code.
