The Art of Writing

In 1973, S.T.Dupont broke new ground in creating the first luxury ballpoint pen: the Classique, made of solid silver with a very streamlined appearance.
Later developed in precious materials including lacquer, gold, palladium and platinum finishes, this pen is still a spectacular success today. Having sold millions, it is a classic, instantly recognizable by its refined and minimal line. As a designer of writing instruments, S.T.Dupont is committed to style, quality and comfort.
Crafted in the metal, these pens are exceptionally sturdy (with an interior structure in brass) and come in a wide range of shapes and colours with an interchangeable ballpoint/pencil system and a roller ball system that can be changed into a felt tip or ballpoint.
Ten to twenty pieces, and no less than 150 operations and 200 quality control tests, are required to produce one pen! These same standards hold for the creation of solid gold fountain pens (which come in four sizes: extra fine, fine, medium and large) and include the most refined details, such as the sound made when the cap is clicked on to the pen.
Numerous tests are carried out to reach the desired writing comfort.
Checked by hand, each fountain pen is an original and sophisticated piece. As for style, the craftsmen who handle precious or rare metals are true artists...
Goldsmiths and lacquerers work wonders to produce quality that is visible to the eye and unmistakable to the hand.
