S.T. Dupont Limited Edition - 5th AVENUE American aristocrats living on Fifth Avenue in New York City during the 1930’s and 1940’s commissioned works from the most talented French interior decorators. The Dupont brothers, as well as other French artists and architects, were ambassadors of French art de vivre. The products of S.T. Dupont were in much demand in prestigious Manhattan shops. Now, S.T. Dupont launches the limited edition New York Fifth Avenue collection – a tribute to New York’s architecture and design of the 1930’s and 1940’s. The marriage of two colors of lacquer, enriched by multiple engraved arabesques, has fully exploited the expertise of our lacquerers and jewelers. Guilloche, chasing, engraving, plating with precious gold and polishing are all done by hand, giving the items a luxurious luster. Approximately 160 hours of work are required to produce a single pen – four times longer than a standard lacquered pen. Only 1,929 pieces of each mode are available worldwide.

		Montblanc Writers Edition - William FAULKNER The 2007 Writers Edition from Montblanc is dedicated to William Faulkner - one of the most significant American novelists of the 20th century: The shape and surface of this unique writing instrument are reminiscent of the style of art déco. The black-brown precious resin, shimmering like mother-of-pearl, meets the bright brilliance of the platinum finish with its subtle ring structure. This represents the complex shifts in points of view that the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner owes his international fame – and the Nobel Prize for Literature. On the cap, the precious resin is also adorned by the writer’s original signature. The hand-crafted nib is a reference to another great passion of the writer: aerobatics. Faulkner’s biplane glides through layer after layer of clouds on the platinum-plated 18-K gold nib. Now available at Mayr & Fessler in Vienna, Austria.
		S.T. Dupont Limited Edition - FRENCH LINE The French Art de Vivre has always been a source of dream. It evokes the spirit, the refinement and luxury that is present in the French culture. In 1864 a new transatlantic liaison, the French Line, became the ambassador of this Art de Vivre. Thanks to these magnificient steamers, which cultivated the French Art of Travelling, French artists and master craftsmen became famous abroard. In testimony of the French Art of Travelling, S.T.Dupont has created this Limited Edition which pays tribute to these legendary liners, which transported the aristocracy through the Atlantic Ocean. S.T.Dupont took as a starting point the unique architecture of these ships. The brushed steel plates on the lighters as well as the anthracite metal body of the pens evoke the impressive hulls of the ships. The rivets and the grids in relief are reminiscent of the banisters, the rails and the bridges of the steamers. The lighters and pens are numbered out of 1864 in reference to the date when the transatlantic liaison between Le Havre and NewYork was created. Now available at Mayr & Fessler in Vienna, Austria.
