ST Dupont Le Mans Series

Luxury meets speed in the ST Dupont Le Mans series, a premium collection that celebrates the timeless elegance of French craftsmanship alongside the high-octane legacy of the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. As one of the most prestigious names in luxury accessories, ST Dupont brings its signature refinement to a range that honours endurance racing's most legendary event. The Le Mans series is more than just a collection—it's a tribute to engineering excellence, competitive spirit, and French savoir-faire.

A Tribute to the 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 24 Hours of Le Mans, first held in 1923, is the world’s oldest active endurance racing event. Known for testing the limits of man and machine, it has become a symbol of precision, resilience, and performance—values that resonate deeply with ST Dupont's own heritage.
The Le Mans series is ST Dupont's way of saluting this motorsport legacy. Every item in the collection reflects the drama and elegance of the race: from the sound of a lighter’s ignition mimicking a revving engine to the streamlined curves of a pen that call to mind the aerodynamic contours of a race car.
Design Inspiration and Craftsmanship
ST Dupont’s Le Mans series incorporates design cues directly from the race and its vehicles. The colours are very similar to classic racing colours — deep blues, reds, and the iconic white racing stripes. Carbon fibre effects, palladium finishes, and lacquered surfaces add a touch of modern motorsport flair while retaining ST Dupont’s hallmark sophistication.

Some key features of the collection include:

• Ligne 2 Lighters: These iconic lighters feature dual blue torch flames and the signature "cling" sound, now accompanied by Le Mans-inspired engravings, numbers, and racing motifs.
• Pens: With sleek lines and lacquered finishes, the pens are precision tools—echoing the fine-tuned mechanics of Le Mans race cars. Many are engraved with the official Le Mans logo and limited edition numbers.
• Ashtrays: Almost as sophisticated as the cars themselves, these beautiful ashtrays come in a different range of colours, but all have one thing in common - excellence. 

Each piece is handcrafted in France, maintaining the meticulous standards that have defined ST Dupont since 1872.

Limited Editions and Collectability
Like the cars that grace the Circuit de la Sarthe, these pieces are produced in limited numbers. Collectors and aficionados appreciate the exclusivity, with some items limited to as few as 192 pieces—marking the inaugural year of the Le Mans race.

Bridging Two Icons of French Excellence
ST Dupont and Le Mans represent two distinct yet complementary facets of French culture: one rooted in artisanal excellence and timeless elegance, the other in innovation and speed. The Le Mans series stands at this intersection, offering fans of both worlds a tangible connection to an extraordinary legacy.
Whether you’re a connoisseur of fine lighters and writing instruments or a devotee of motorsport history, the ST Dupont Le Mans series delivers a compelling union of style, performance, and tradition.

The ST Dupont Le Mans series isn’t just about accessories—it’s about storytelling, history, and craftsmanship. It captures the spirit of competition and the beauty of precision, inviting owners to carry a piece of Le Mans legend in their everyday lives. For those who value both performance and luxury, this series offers the best of both worlds—engineered not for the track, but for timeless elegance.
