If you had to guess which company added the most new products at this year’s show, it’s difficult to imagine anyone suggesting S.T. Dupont, except me; because I have six pages of notes filled from the booth, which is far fewer than last year thanks to some product sheets that I got this year. The French accessory maker introduces collection after collection at each one of these shows and while you aren’t likely to see even a tenth of it at your local shop, the market for $20,000 lighters clearly exists.

Fuente Fuente OpusX 20 Years
In honor of the 20th anniversary of OpusX, S.T. Dupont has teamed up with Fuente to create a variety of pieces.

S.T. Dupont OpusX 20th Line 2 & Pen

OpusX Line 2 Lighter
There’s 400 of these in three colors: Black, Red and White; each numbered. Retail pricing is at $2,200.

OpusX 20th Lacquer Line D Roller Ball
A total of 100 red pens have been created, each numbered. Retail pricing is $1,100.

OpusX 20th Belt
If you’d like an OpusX belt, there’s a $980 option available in black.

S.T. Dupont OpusX Limited Edition Line 2 2

OpusX Limited Edition Line 2
For those wanting a bit more, 10 sculpted brass lighters have been created in collaboration with 2SaintS, who has previously been in the S.T. Dupont booth doing live engraving.

S.T. Dupont OpusX Limited Edition Line 2 1

Pricing for this version is $10,500.

S.T. Dupont OpusX 20th Anniversary MaxijJet

OpusX 20th MaxiJet
If you’d like a torch, there’s three versions—Black, Blue and White—of the MaxiJet made for the anniversary celebration. Each retail for $260 and come with a custom leather pouch. Unlike the rest of the lighters, these are not listed as limited.

OpusX MaxiJet Cutter
There’s also a MaxiJet cutter made in Fuente livery. This is due out in October priced at $230.

S.T. Dupont OpusX 20th Anniversary Ashtray

OpusX 20th Anniversary Limoges Porcelain Ashtray
There’s a black and white ashtray made in collaboration with James Michael. These are limited to 400 numbered pieces each and priced at $550.

S.T. Dupont OpusX 20th Anniversary Humidor

OpusX 20th Anniversary Humidor
James Michael also collaborated with S.T. Dupont for a black humidor for the occasion. It’s limited to 750 pieces and will retail for $780. It features a variety of custom touches, including OpusX-branded Boveda holders.

Great Wall of China
While I suppose this is functional, the most recent addition to S.T. Dupont’s Haute Collection is art. There’s a total of eight different pieces based off of the Great Wall of China. This collection launched on June 15, although due to the nature of the items, S.T. Dupont says it takes three months from ordering for them to be delivered. The items were produced in collaboration with Tournaire.

While the really crazy pieces weren’t actually in the booth, what was there was ridiculous enough.

S.T. Dupont Great Wall of China Ligne 2 & Neoclassic

Great Wall of China Ligne 2 (Prestige)
There are 288 pieces of this unit which features a combination of gold, bronze and nickel finishes. Pricing is $8,200.

S.T. Dupont Great Wall of China Ashtray

Great Wall of China Ashtray
I would be afraid to use the $11,100 ashtray for ashes. It’s absolutely stunning and substantial. This is limited to just 88 pieces.

Great Wall of China Neoclassic President
There are two versions of the pen, which is limited to 288 pieces. The roller ball is $7,900, while the fountain pen—which features a solid 18-carat gold nib, is $8,000.

S.T. Dupont Great Wall of China Ligne 2 Exclusive

Great Wall of China Ligne 2 Exclusive & Base
S.T. Dupont has various levels for each of its collections in terms of their detail, production run and cost. Prestige is usually the highest of these categories, but for certain items, there’s an Exclusive version.

S.T. Dupont Great Wall of China Ligne 2 Exclusive & Base

I don’t know why you would order just this Ligne 2 ($20,000) without the base, but I suppose you could. The package with the base sets you back $26,000, but how many lighters have their own diorama? Like the ashtray, which is also an Exclusive item, this is limited to 88 pieces.

S.T. Dupont Great Wall of China Neoclassic President Exclusive

Great Wall of China Neoclassic President Exclusive
And if you are going to get that, you might as well get matching Exclusive pen. Once again it’s limited to 88 pieces. The roller ball version is $20,000, while the fountain pen is just $500 more.

Helix by Kostas
Another Haute Collection addition, this was is in partnership with Kostas Metaxas. There’s a lighter and two pens models, each limited to 288 pieces per finish. Each design is available in either bronze with 18-karat gold finishes or white bronze with rhodium finishes.

The collection is expected to ship in October.

S.T. Dupont Helix Ligne 2

Helix Ligne 2
The company’s signature Ligne 2 gets a much more substantial case. Pricing is $8,600 regardless of finish.

S.T. Dupont Helix Pen

Helix Neoclassic President
It’s the same story on the pens, the rollerball is $8,400 and the fountain pen is $8,500.

James Bond
In honor of the new Spectre film due out later this year, S.T. Dupont has created a variety of special editions. SPECTRE is actually a reference to a crime syndicate, Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, and S.T. Dupont is paying tribute to its first onscreen appearance in The Spy Who Loved Me, by limiting the pieces to 1,963 units, the year the film came out.

S.T. Dupont Spectre Ligne 2

Spectre Ligne 2
Arguably the most interning piece in the S.T. Dupont booth, it’s a Ligne 2 with a hole through the center,  in reference to a bullet. It also features the signature James Bond vortex. It’s offered in two different finishes—Black and Palladium—with the Palladium due out in October and the Black the following month.

Interestingly, there’s also a secret compartment within the lighter. It’s disguised as another adjustment valve. Pricing is $2,000 regardless of color.

Race Machine L2 & Paperweight

Nuevo Mundo, Re-Invented
S.T. Dupont created Nuevo Mundo in 1998, which used gold and midnight blue Chinese lacquer. One of the company’s better customers asked the company to recreate one of the pieces for them in silver, so S.T. Dupont decided to make 500 pieces out of palladium. The collections due out in September.
