Thumbs up or thumbs down? What Time Is It? Let Me Check My Lighter.

[El Presidente]

 

United for the first time by their shared passion for art and innovation, Franck Muller and S.T. Dupont are proud to present the Master Lighter, which combines the sophistication of Haute Horlogerie with masterful craftsmanship.

The Master Lighter, revealing a double-sided watch that incorporates a skeleton movement, is the result of more than two years of development and marks a first in the history of both houses. This creation offers a three-day power reserve, seamlessly integrated into the lighter's mechanism, representing an extraordinary technical achievement.

The lighter's front face, adorned with central hands indicating hours and minutes, features a sunburst and lacquered dial crafted in the pure tradition of Franck Muller's dial making. The technical marvel lies in the hands' axis, which traverses the lighter, passing through the center of the gas tank.

On the opposite face, the skeleton movement of the watch is revealed in all its glory, highlighting Franck Muller's expertise in watch complications with a system that allows for the central second display. Additionally, a second dial with finishes identical to the front face is visible behind the mechanical components of the skeleton movement.

Every detail of this masterpiece reflects the heritage and unique expertise of Franck Muller, combined with the distinguished artistry of S.T. Dupont. The Master Lighter represents the pinnacle of both houses, where traditional craftsmanship and innovation unite to create a truly unique object.

The Master Lighter collection is offered in a limited series of 88 units per shade, featuring four exceptional models adorned with Franck Muller's iconic numerals. The White variant stands out with its silver sunburst dial. The Blue model embodies Franck Muller's signature blue. The Black version, with its modern aesthetic, stands out with luminova-applied numerals. Lastly, the Color Dream model showcased the brand's colored numerals, complemented by a skeleton movement in aluminum on the back, specially crafted to highlight the vivid colors on the front of the lighter.

It looks a little clunky, like carrying around the nightstand clock. But I don't mind the white faced one. I'll bet I'd mind the price though.

Gadzooks!

If only Franck Muller weren’t such shitty timepieces.

Edit: Note it’s 88 units so no need to guess the market this is pitched at.

If they were around 45K it would be a big seller.

For $66.000 I would buy a Dupont Paladium Ligne 2 and an Audemars Piguet 15400. I would have a better watch and still have some cash leftover!

"Dammit, my lighter's dead again."

"Forget to fill it?"

"Forgot to wind it."

Frequency set at 18,000 vibrations per hour. Plus the number of times you clink the thing without lighting it, just to show off that it's a Dupont.
