S.T.Dupont launches - “ARMORS OF TOMORROW” LIMITED EDITION

The new Limited Edition “Armors of Tomorrow” plunges us headlong into the world of science-fiction and super heroes evoking strong values of the knights of tomorrow. S.T.Dupont has combined a futuristic design with innovation pioneering the use of a revolutionary new material. For the first time ever, S.T.Dupont introduces Ceramium A.C.T. (Advanced Ceramium Technology): a new reference in the world of luxury accessories. As strong as steel and as light as air, Ceramium A.C.T. symbolizes French excellence and the House’s perfection of service.

The design of this collection is inspired by the armors of legendary American science-fiction heroes. It combines aesthetic purity and edge-cutting technology. Futuristic graphic details have been achieved by using S.T.Dupont’s traditional guilloche technique: CERAMIUM A.C.T. (Advanced Ceramium Technology):

3 years of research and development were needed to innovate Ceramium A.C.T., a completely new material combining Ceramic and Aluminium. Ceramium A.C.T is exceptionally lightweight, extremely resistant and fireproof. Thanks to Ceramium A.C.T., lighters and writing instruments weight 40% less and are 3 times more scratch resistant to scratches. The new Limited Edition Armors of Tomorrow is hand-crafted in S.T.Dupont’s workshops in Faverges. This futuristic collection combining traditional know-how and totally new technology reflect the excellence and quality of S.T.Dupont since 1872 featuring the label “Made in France”.
