Franck Muller stands out as a pioneer in the watchmaking industry by constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional design with their intricate and innovative timepieces. The brand’s use of complex mechanisms, such as the Crazy Hours and the Aeternitas Mega, showcases its exceptional craftsmanship while transforming everyday watches into perfect conversation pieces for enthusiasts and collectors. It’s an image and DNA similar to the French luxury lighter manufacturers at S.T. Dupont, who also pride themselves on reimagining luxury goods as works of art. Franck Muller and S.T. Dupont are proud to combine the Haute Horlogerie and the art of goldsmithing with its ultra-exclusive Master Lighter series.
Taking more than two years to design and engineer, The Franck Muller x S.T. Dupont Master Lighter commemorates a monumental moment for the two marques as a first-ever collaboration. The double-flame cigar lighter comes housed in a mirror-polished, stainless-steel case with an invisible crown hidden on the side to manage the watch’s functions and settings. Two panes of sapphire crystal offer a dual display of both Franck Muller’s lacquered guilloche with colorful numerics and intricate movement, measuring 2 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, and 3/4 inches thick. The Master Light generates a jaw-dropping 3-day power reserve thanks to Franck Muller’s in-house Calibre FM 1740-LI-STD Skeleton movement, which also comes finished in a colorful, rainbow design.
Hitting all the right notes, the Master Lighter by Franck Muller and S.T. Dupont successfully stands out as a leader in both spaces, being a top-tier luxury lighter for the cigar enthusiast and the rare timepiece for the watch collector. With plans to craft only 352 pieces in four styles, the Franck Muller x S.T. Dupont Master Lighter series is now available through authorized boutiques, with pricing ranging from $56,400 to $65,300.
