S.T.Dupont Launching Space Odyssey

French accessory maker S.T.Dupont is no stranger to high-priced items inspired by space, but its newest collection of accessories looks to space as what it could be, not just celebrating past achievements.

It’s called Space Odyssey, a 10-piece limited collection of lighters, pens and cufflinks—all based on the galaxy and those who seek to explore it.

As with many of S.T.Dupont’s releases, there’s a variety of items that are divided into tiers. The highest-end items are part of the Prestige Collection, show in the image above.

For cigar smokers, the S.T.Dupont Line 2 Space Odyssey Prestige Lighter takes the company’s iconic Line 2 soft flame lighter and adds a space-inspired modern feel to it. The most notable feature is a small transparent circle on the body that is designed to look like earth. It’s made of “glittered-sprinkled resin,” behind it is lacquer that has been sprayed to look like the Milky Way. The rest of the lighter is made from palladium and uses natural lacquer.

A similar effect is used on the Space Odyssey Prestige pens.

By themselves, the lighters and pens have MSRPs of $3,395 and $3,495, but there’s also the option to purchase the Smoking Kit or Writing Kit, which adds a base to either the lighter or pen. In the case of the lighter, the base looks like a lunar module; the pen’s base mimics a launchpad.

Both the Smoking and Writing Kits are limited to 399 numbered pieces. The Prestige Line 2 lighter and Prestige writing instruments are each limited to 999 numbered pieces.

For just under $12,000, S.T.Dupont offers theSpace Odyssey Prestige Collector Set, which includes a Prestige lighter, a Prestige pen, an ashtray, ink well and cufflinks.

S.T.Dupont is also offering Premium Collection pieces, which are priced less than their Prestige counterparts. These pieces will be made from palladium and lacquer that are designed to depict a galaxy. Each item in the Premium Collection is limited to 2,001 pieces.

The company has not released images of the Premium Collection.
