TIMELESS SKILLS
A workshop where our talented artisans bring their innovation to seventeen rare skills, harnessing technology to turn cutting edge materials into distinctive objects of desire.
1) ENGRAVING
Fine engraving techniques such as guilloche are one of S.T. Dupont’s signature skills. Precision techniques, micro mechanics and fine diamond-tipped tools are used to heighten the brilliance of the finished product, cutting and faceting it like a precious stone.
2) LACQUERING
A classic craft, revived by S.T. Dupont’s craftsmen, to produce exquisite, lacquered objects, blending the finesse of natural lacquer with its natural strength and resilience. Skilled lacquerers painstakingly apply up to ten layers of lacquer to create the perfect high tolerance finish.
3) EXQUISITE LEATHERWORK
With a choice of the finest natural leathers from Europe, our master leatherworkers choose a specific leather for each product. From rare hides to finely textured leather, each S.T. Dupont leather product reflects the unique nature of the leather used in its creation.
4) PRECIOUS METALS
The alchemy of turning metal into precious metal involves a number of precision processes, finely controlled to ensure that the finish of each product is perfectly regular and consistent before the final touches are made. From original hand-electroplating processes to automatic technology, each S.T. Dupont object is painstakingly prepared and plated to create a precious object of beauty.
5) TESTING
Innovation for us is nothing without reliability. We set exacting standards for our products, and test them relentlessly to ensure they perform under pressure. Making exceptional products is about ensuring they live up to their exceptional reputation in even the most challenging circumstances.
