When a renowned luxury accessory brand and a distinguished watchmaker join forces, the result is a masterpiece that redefines luxury. After over two years of meticulous development, S.T. Dupont and Franck Muller have introduced The Master Lighter. This accessory ignites with a double-flame burner and also functions uniquely as a pocket watch or a desk timepiece.
Precision and craftsmanship
These lighters are not just beautiful; they are wonders of design created by master artisans and engineers, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge micromechanics. To ensure a comfortable grip, they are shaped ergonomically using the finest materials. Craftspeople adorn each lighter with Franck Muller’s signature guilloché patterns, creating a fascinating play of reflections. Alongside, they apply S.T. Dupont’s patented lacquer techniques to ensure a luxurious and durable finish.
A spectrum of colours and details
The collection caters to discerning tastes with four sophisticated colours: in white with silver sunray stamped dial; in Franck Muller’s signature blue; in black with superluminova-painted numerals and hands, and black PVD casing; and in the vibrant Color Dreams, featuring multicoloured numerals and mechanism decoration. Each colour is limited to 88 pieces, making each Master Lighter a rare and exclusive find for collectors and enthusiasts.

Engineering excellence
The innovative spirit of this edition shines through in the details. This masterpiece comes with a pyrophoric ignition with a double-flame burner that ensures reliability every time it’s used. The outer body features a standout double-sided design: one side is sunray-stamped with a lacquered dial indicating hours, minutes and seconds, while the watch brand’s signature skeleton movement, complete with a three-day power reserve, is on display on the other side. Additionally, the axes for the hours and minutes run through the lighter, intersecting the gas reservoir, highlighting the innovative spirit of integrating horological excellence with practical design.
Exclusivity and prestige
Unveiled at the Franck Muller factory in Genthod near Geneva during The World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie International Trade Fair in April 2024, the Master Lighter is a testament to innovative design. This is more than just an accessory; it’s a demonstration of how traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation can unite to create something extraordinary.
