S.T. Dupont Horse Mane Line 2 "Perfect Ping" — Red/Yellow Gold

S.T. Dupont celebrates the Year of the Fire Horse with the Horse Mane collection — a limited Line 2 series that channels the charisma, majesty, and untamed energy of one of China's most revered symbols.

The Fire Horse

In Chinese tradition, the Horse is the emblem of strength, speed, and freedom. The Fire Horse — rarest and most powerful of all — carries those qualities to their extreme: passionate, brilliant, and impossible to contain. The Horse Mane collection draws directly from this symbolism, translating the animal's defining feature into a decorative language that S.T. Dupont has mastered over more than a century.

Horse Mane Guilloché

The collection's signature element is a hand-engraved guilloché pattern designed to evoke the flowing motion of a galloping horse's mane. The rhythmic, undulating lines are cut beneath the lacquer surface, creating depth and movement that shift with the light. It is an exercise in precision that rewards close attention — each pass of the engraving tool adding to a surface that reads as both structured and alive.

Red Lacquer / Yellow Gold

The Red/Yellow Gold variation draws on the Fire Horse's elemental palette. The red lacquer — vivid, warm, and commanding — captures the animal's fire and passion. The yellow gold finish provides a luminous frame that amplifies the lacquer's intensity, lending the lighter a warmth that feels ceremonial without being ornate.

The Perfect Ping

The collection preserves the Line 2's defining hallmark: the crystalline "perfect ping." That unmistakable sound — produced when the cap opens — has defined the Line 2 since its introduction and remains the acoustic signature of S.T. Dupont craftsmanship.
