A Spectacular Celebration of Power and Elegance

April 2016

The new collection, stemming from the partnership between S.T.DUPONT and MARVEL Comics highlights elegance, strength and provocative mystery - the multiple facets of a seductive man. Such an ideal man exists and is called Tony Stark… or perhaps Iron Man?

S.T.Dupont was founded in 1872 but the brand's continuous evolution and exceptional creativity places it firmly in the modern context of the 21st century. Interweaving sometimes iconoclastic but always exciting connections between traditional fine metalwork, the art of lacquering and contemporary culture, it draws its stimulating inspiration from the past, the present and the future. 

TONY STARK / IRON MAN: THE MALE SEDUCTION

-    “You can do what people expect of you, or you can do what is right” - Tony Stark
-    “You can take my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can't take away.... I am Iron Man”- Iron Man

The dual characteristic is remarkably embodied in The Tony Stark / Iron Man collection.
Whether it expresses the classic elegance of the billionaire playboy or the power of the metal avenger, each of the objects is adorned with the honeycomb motif evoking the Arc reactor that not only keeps Tony Stark alive, but also supplies his red and gold armour with power.

THE TONY STARK COLLECTION: INCARNATION OF ULTIMATE ELEGANCE

This collection is a perfect example of the S.T.DUPONT heritage: elegance “à la française” coupled with generations of French know-how. Embellished with an original honeycomb motif on the lacquer and the luxurious rich leather, it represents the ideal in contemporary chic.

- The Tony Stark rollerball pen is designed on the basis of the Line D model, adorned for this edition with a subtle guilloché honeycomb motif under a glossy lacquer available in grey or blue. The body of the pen is engraved with the S.T.DUPONT logo, whilst its cap bears the Tony Stark signature. Its brass clip is coated with glossy palladium. A nib set is available on request.

- The Tony Stark document holder showcases blue Line D Soft Diamond leather, made especially for this collection, bearing the honeycomb motif that evokes the Arc reactor. Its distinctive features include a metal plate on the front bearing the Tony Stark signature and its shiny, stainless palladium fasteners. It is emblazoned with the S.T.DUPONT logo and its famous “D”.

- The Tony Stark  wallet is in blue Line D Soft Diamond leather, and bears the honeycomb motif that evokes the Arc reactor. It is signed with a palladium-coated ingot engraved with “S.T.DUPONT”. Once open, it reveals on one side the silver stamped Tony Stark signature and on the other the embossed MARVEL and S.T.DUPONT logos.

- The Tony Stark credit card holder is in blue Line D Soft Diamond leather, with the honeycomb motif that has been specially created for this collection. It is signed with a palladium-coated ingot engraved with “S.T.DUPONT” and is embellished with a delicate three-coloured French flag. On the smooth leather front, it bears the silver stamped Tony Stark signature and the embossed MARVEL emblem.

- The Tony Stark belt has a 35mm stainless steel buckle engraved with the S.T.DUPONT logo. Its outer side showcases the blue Line D Soft Diamond leather with honeycomb motifs that are the distinctive feature of this collection, and its inner side in smooth full-grain leather bears the MARVEL and S.T.Dupont logos. 

- The Tony Stark cufflinks reproduce the hexagonal shape of the Arc reactor embedded in the billionaire playboy’s chest. Made in brass coated in glossy palladium, they encircle a full-grain blue Line D Soft Diamond leather centre stamped with the honeycomb motif.

THE IRON MAN COLLECTION: THE RESISTANCE AND LIGHT WEIGHT OF CERAMIUM A.C.T.

This collection is a spectacular demonstration of the way S.T.DUPONT is rooted in the most dazzling modernity. It showcases a decisively innovative material resulting from three years of research and development conducted by S.T.DUPONT: Ceramium A.C.T. As resistant as steel yet as light as air, Ceramium A.C.T. is the symbol of the House’s technical excellence.

- The Iron Man rollerball pen is designed on the basis of the Line D.0 model. It comes in two versions: deep black or deep red. Both the body and cap have a fine guilloché honeycomb motif and are adorned with luminescent studs. This spectacular writing instrument is made of aluminium finished with Ceramium A.C.T., which makes it lighter and three times more resistant to scratches. The cap’s clip in brass plated with yellow gold is engraved with the “D” for Dupont at one end and the front is adorned with a replica of the Arc reactor holding a luminescent Super-LumiNova at its centre. A nib set is available on request.

- The Iron Man ballpoint pen is designed on the basis of the Défi pen model. Its structure is made of brass plated with sleek yellow gold and its body is delicately decorated with a honeycomb motif evoking the Arc reactor. Engraved with the Marvel logo, its top is embellished with the “D” signature in phosphorescent red lacquer. 

This spectacular new partnership between S.T.DUPONT and the MARVEL universe once again enables the prestigious French House to demonstrate the consummate skill of its Master Silversmiths and Goldsmiths, its Master Lacquerers and its Artisan Leatherworkers, in a collection that every fan of the invincible super-hero should own or offer as a gift!
