For almost 150 years, S.T. Dupont has been synonymous with luxury – combining creativity, uncompromising quality and unique expertise passed down from generation to generation.
A WORKSHOP IN FAVERGES
Lucien and André, Simon Tissot Dupont’s sons, took the reins in 1919 and decided in 1924 to move the Parisian workshop to the family home in Faverges, in Haute-Savoie. With the new workshop located beside Lake Annecy, Europe’s purest lake, S.T. Dupont products are manufactured in one of France’s most remarkable natural environments.

Where Time-Honored Craftsmanship Meets Modern Mastery
MASTER GOLDSMITH
The goldsmith’s art has always played an important role in the creation of S.T. Dupont objects. Whether delicately stamped, engraved, chiselled, hand-guillochéd or crafted using the latest digital techniques, noble and precious metals bend to the patient efforts of the master goldsmiths who decorate them with sophisticated motifs. S.T. Dupont objects reflect the Maison’s unique expertise and passion.
