S.T. Dupont Year of the Horse Collection — Chinese New Year 2026
Share
Each year, S.T. Dupont celebrates the Chinese zodiac with a limited collection that blends cultural symbolism with French craftsmanship. For the Year of the Horse, the maison introduces a striking new series inspired by movement, vitality, and elegance — values deeply rooted in both tradition and design.
In Chinese culture, the horse represents strength, independence, and forward momentum. Those born under this sign are often associated with confidence, perseverance, and an unrelenting drive toward success. These qualities are captured through S.T. Dupont’s distinctive craftsmanship, transforming symbolism into objects meant to be used, admired, and collected.
At the heart of this collection is a dynamic “horse mane” guilloché pattern, a flowing design that reflects motion and energy. The engraved surface creates depth and texture, brought to life through rich lacquer finishes and refined precious metal accents. Each piece showcases Dupont’s mastery of guilloché — a technique that requires precision, balance, and an exceptional attention to detail.
This Year of the Horse collection extends beyond visual appeal. It represents S.T. Dupont’s ability to honor tradition while maintaining a modern sense of luxury. Whether presented as a lighter or writing instrument, each piece is designed to feel purposeful — not ornamental alone, but expressive of heritage and craftsmanship.
As with previous Chinese New Year releases, this collection is produced in limited quantities. These zodiac editions are especially sought after by collectors, not only for their symbolism, but for their unique designs that mark a specific moment in time. Each year tells a story — and the Year of the Horse speaks to progress, resilience, and refined power.
