living in a material world

Once again, the French atelier S.T. Dupont has found inspiration from its own archive of guilloche engraving. The new S.T. Dupont Monogram 1872 collection's ridged guilloche pattern is based on a pattern from the 1950s and is a combination of smooth, ridged, horizontal, vertical, and parallel lines combined in an italic motif that speaks to pure mid-20th-century elegance.

It takes every skill possessed by S.T. Dupont's artisans, which is why the name harkens to the company's founding year of 1872. Monogram 1872 is a Line D Eternity extra-large, large, or medium body in gold or palladium plating. The cartridge/converter-filling fountain pen has a 14 karat gold Angel Wing nib in fine, medium, or broad; large-body rollerball and medium-body ballpoint versions are also available, including a black lacquer ballpoint with gold-plated details.

In 2025, Leuchtturm1917 invites customers to embrace gradience with the new Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Gradient Edition ballpoint series. It's the same hexagonally faceted brass body with an aluminum finish, tapered tip, and rounded twist-action mechanism at the finial. But this new Gradient Edition has just that: a unique, hand-painted, gradient finish of navy and mint green, forest green and sage, Rising Sun and lemon, or Port Red and lilac. Each Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Gradient Edition is packaged in a matching triangular box and comes with a standard international black refill that promises over 1,000 words of writing. Production of the Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Gradient Edition is limited in number, and the collection will release in April 2025.
