S.T.Dupont - Philippe TOURNAIRE New architectural masterpieces
Since its creation in 1872, S.T.Dupont has never ceased to create exceptional pieces, made from the most precious of materials.
Philippe TOURNAIRE, an artist-jeweller for over 40 years, creates pieces combining architecture and high jewellery thanks to its showcasing of exceptional stones, meticulous sculpture and incredible three-dimensional work.
Faithful replicas of Notre Dame Cathedral, the Statue of Liberty and the Tower of Pisa have been crafted in bronze- the base of which is S.T.Dupont’s iconic Olympio fountain pen- and are entirely hand-engraved, polished and patinated.
They are produced in 30 copies and require an average of 36 hours’ work to create.
The mini Statue of Liberty alone needs 7 hours’ work and the bells of the Tower of Pisa, which are positioned individually by hand, take 5 hours.
