In 1971, S.T. Dupont received a special order: Jackie Onassis wanted a ballpoint pen to match her lighter. The company did not manufacture writing instruments but decided to take up the challenge. S.T. Dupont's craftsmen were inspired by the brass and design of its Ligne 1 lighter. They transposed the vertical metal guilloche of the lighter mechanism onto the barrel of a pen. All the expertise of the company's goldsmiths was then called upon to develop the first S.T. Dupont pen collection.

More than 50 years later, S.T. Dupont is introducing a new version of the first ever luxury writing instrument. The 1970's design icon is now slightly thicker, unisex and more ergonomic, while preserving the features that made it so elegant and timeless.
