Master Lighter Franck Muller & ST Dupont

First lighter with watchmaking complications

United for the first time by a shared passion for art and innovation, Franck Muller and S.T. Dupont unveil the Master Lighter, a remarkable combination of Haute Horlogerie and the art of goldsmithing. This exceptional lighter, incorporating a skeleton watch with a power reserve, is the result of more than two years of development and marks a first in the history of both houses. This unique alliance blends Franck Muller's watchmaking expertise with S.T. Dupont's art goldsmithing.

The Master Lighter stands out for its skeleton movement, a signature feature of Franck Muller, cleverly combined with a lighter to reveal a double-sided watch. This creation, offering a three-day power reserve, is ingeniously integrated into the lighter's mechanism, representing an exceptional technical achievement.

Adorned with central hands indicating the hours and minutes, the lighter's front face features a sunburst and lacquered dial, manufactured in the pure tradition of Franck Muller dial making. The technical feat is that the hands' axis traverses the lighter, passing through the center of the gas reservoir.

The opposite face of the lighter reveals the skeleton movement of the watch in all its splendor, illustrating Franck Muller's mastery of watch complications, with a system allowing the central second display on this face. In a final refinement, a second dial with finishes identical to the front face is revealed 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 goldsmithing mastery of S.T. Dupont. The Master Lighter thus represents the excellence of two houses, where two unique crafts find a new expression in this unique object, a true fusion of traditional craftsmanship and innovation.

Offered in a limited series of 88 units per shade, the Master Lighter collection consists of four exceptional lighters, adorned with the iconic numerals of Franck Muller, known for their distinctive shape. The White variant stands out with its silver dial featuring a sunburst pattern. The Blue model echoes Franck Muller's signature blue. The Black version, more modern in appearance, is remarkable for its luminova-applied numerals. Finally, the Color Dream model features the brand's colored numerals, complemented on the back by a skeleton movement in aluminum, specially crafted to highlight the vivid colors on the front of the lighter.

These exceptional pieces are presented exclusively at the international salon The World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie from April 9 to 13, 2024, at the Franck Muller manufacture in Genthod.

Franck Muller History

Franck Muller watches are one of the finest and most complicated of the world. The manufacture was founded in Geneva by Franck Muller and Vartan Sirmakes with the aim of creating exclusive timepieces characterised by complicated movements and original designs. Thanks to its strong in-house capabilities in numerous fields of Haute Horlogerie, this young company rapidly became one of the best Swiss horlogerie brands. Today, we believe we succeeded in combining boldness and creativity with exceptional Haute Horlogerie know-how.

Franck Muller

Franck decided to devote his career to create highly complicated watches and started working in his workshop on timepieces that would become exceptional world premieres.  Later, in 1991, he met Vartan Sirmakes, who challenged him to turn a small volume production into a prestigious brand and enterprise that Franck Muller is today.

Watchland

Remaining faithful to its roots, Franck Muller Genève is established in the very same village where Franck started his activity in 1983, namely Genthod, in the neighboring countryside of Geneva.  Only this time, it was mansion built in 1905 that was restored to become, in just a few months, the wonderful headquarters of this promising brand.
