2009  the new S.T.Dupont Défi – the pen of laser precision

The Défi (“Challenge” in English) tests the laws of gravity and tradition, and declares war on the blank page… S.T.Dupont, symbol of French luxury, did not choose the name for its new line of pens by chance. The pen has become a weapon for everyday writing.

Behind its purity, this new writing weapon challenges excess, and features streamlined and virile lines as the successful result of technological innovation.

The most precise and high-performance pen 
Like a fighter jet, the S.T.Dupont Défi is responsive, precise and high-performance.
The pen’s fuselage is constructed according to a unique and original design, combining a frame in high-precision injected metal with a palladium finish, and a composite carbon fibre body. This high-precision metal injection technique was previously reserved for manufacturing advanced-technology components in the aeronautics industry.

The most distinguished pen of its generation
S.T.Dupont has succeeded in its daring wager and adapted the pen to the world of luxury, making it the most distinguished pen of its generation; its contours, with no concession to futility or frivolity, leave nothing to chance. The S.T.Dupont Défi pen is radical and essential, giving the impression of something substantial, to which nothing need be added. It is an object of perfect design, hand-polished and assembled in our French workshops – perfection for everyday use.
The Défi has a perfect grip and a distinguished design with a shape that blends with the new streamlined nib. It is this dynamic design, both responsive and elegant, that renders the Défi both fiercely contemporary and definitively masculine. It is power at your fingertips, which will allow the power of words to be put to paper.    

The only pen that dares to break the mould of writing instruments
The Défi sets new visual standards, challenging traditional concepts of pen design. Whilst most pens just use metal in a ring to encircle and clasp the pen body, the Défi uses metal in a completely new way, setting the pen free and providing the writer with perfect freedom of expression. The composite shell associated with the powerful metal frame gives these S.T.Dupont pens an ideal weight.
