S.T. Dupont 250th Anniversary Haute Création Line 2 Lighter — Gold Bronze (Liberty Bell)
Haute Création is S.T. Dupont's highest expression of the lighter-maker's art — the tier reserved for works that require skills beyond the standard production process, where the object becomes as much a piece of artisanal sculpture as a functioning instrument. For America's 250th anniversary, S.T. Dupont has produced a USA-exclusive Haute Création collection in two distinct artistic programs. The gold bronze set renders the founding documents and symbols of American independence in sculpted relief with a warm antique gold finish — the color of historical metal, of bells cast in the eighteenth century, of objects made to outlast the moment they were created for.
Declaration of Independence / Liberty Bell
The Line 2 lighter's two faces each carry a distinct image in high relief. The front presents the scene of the Declaration's signing — the founding fathers gathered at the moment that defined the republic, the figures rendered with the precision that sculpted relief at this scale demands. The reverse presents the Liberty Bell, the Philadelphia icon whose inscription has defined American self-understanding since it rang in 1776: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land." The gold bronze finish gives both faces the quality of a struck medal — the imagery elevated by the material into something that reads as both historical document and luxury object.
Haute Création / Line 2
The Line 2 is S.T. Dupont's landmark cigar lighter — the format that defined the brand's place in the luxury lighter category, with its signature "ping" sound on opening, double jet torch flame for a clean, even light across the foot of a cigar, and the solid brass body that provides the weight and balance that distinguishes a serious lighter from a utility tool. In Haute Création, those fundamentals are elevated: the body becomes the canvas, the artistry the reason the object exists beyond function. This piece is a USA exclusive, available on order, at the higher price point of the two anniversary lighters — reflecting the additional complexity of the founding-document subject matter and its rendering. Summer 2026 launch.
