In an unprecedented fusion of fashion, art, and craftsmanship, two legendary brands—S.T. Dupont and Franck Muller—have joined forces to create the world’s first hybrid lighter-watch. After two years of meticulous development, this groundbreaking accessory combines Dupont’s masterful metalwork with Franck Muller’s revered Swiss horology, blending tradition with innovation to craft a truly timeless piece.
S.T. Dupont X Franck Muller
The “Master Lighter” dazzles with Muller’s iconic sunray-stamped lacquered dial on one side, while the reverse reveals an identical dial behind a captivating skeletonized design. Muller’s watchmakers have ingeniously made the central seconds hand visible through the skeleton, with the axis for hours and minutes seamlessly integrated into the lighter’s gas reservoir—a stunning feat of engineering that celebrates both form and function.
