Master Lighter Franck Muller & ST Dupont
In collaboration with Swiss luxury watch brand Franck Muller, S.T. Dupont unveils the Master Lighter, world’s first lighter with watchmaking complications. This innovative lifestyle accessory blends Franck Muller’s watchmaking expertise with S.T. Dupont’s art gold-smithing.
The Master Lighter stands out for its skeleton movement, a signature feature of Franck Muller, cleverly combined with a lighter to reveal a double-sided watch. This creation, offering a three-day power reserve, is ingeniously integrated into the lighter’s mechanism, representing an exceptional technical achievement.
Adorned with central hands indicating the hours and minutes, the lighter’s front face features a sunburst and lacquered dial, manufactured in the pure tradition of Franck Muller dial making. The technical feat is that the hands’ axis traverses the lighter, passing through the center of the gas reservoir.
The opposite face of the lighter reveals the skeleton movement of the watch in all its splendor, illustrating Franck Muller’s mastery of watch complications, with a system allowing the central second display on this face. In a final refinement, a second dial with finishes identical to the front face is revealed behind the mechanical components of the skeleton movement.
Offered in a limited series of 88 units per shade, the Master Lighter collection consists of four exceptional lighters, adorned with the iconic numerals of Franck Muller, known for their distinctive shape.
The White variant stands out with its silver dial featuring a sunburst pattern. The Blue model echoes Franck Muller’s signature blue. The Black version, more modern in appearance, is remarkable for its luminova-applied numerals.
Finally, the Color Dream model features the brand’s colored numerals, complemented on the back by a skeleton movement in aluminum, specially crafted to highlight the vivid colors on the front of the lighter.
