Introduction

S.T. Dupont presents a reimagined and iconic skull design with philosophical meaning, creating a potent symbol serving as a reminder to embrace the preciousness of life and to live each moment to the fullest. This philosophy is eloquently captured in the words of Pierre de Ronsard, a 16th century French poet, who encouraged, “Live, if you believe me, don’t wait until tomorrow. Pick the roses of life today.”

In Latin, ‘Memento Mori’ translates to ‘remember that you must die’ and has been a Latin phrase used for centuries to designate an artistic style where all creation is born with the objective of reminding humans of their mortality. The Memento Mori collection encapsulates the duality of life and death, merging edgy aesthetics with profound meaning.

Line D Eternity Large

The collection features the newly updated Line D Eternity large pen; recently remodeled with a new sword articulated clip, a lacquered Dupont ‘D’ in the crown of the cap and a perfectly balanced shape for exceptional writing. The engraved pen cap closes with Dupont’s iconic ‘cling’ and features a fluted grip section for a superb writing experience.

Natural Lacquer

S.T. Dupont’s artisans then add layers of natural lacquer to the engravedpen in a months-long process involving many applications and polishing to impart depth and mystery to each finish. The engraved guilloche reflects light through the overlay of natural lacquer, creating a spectacular three dimensional display of color. The result is a collection of precious, hand lacqueredwriting instruments of exceptional beauty.
