N obility, intelligence, and perseverance. 2014 is the year of the horse – the Wood Horse more precisely – in the Chinese horoscope. To celebrate, S.T. Dupont’s ‘Horse’ Limited Edition pays tribute to this inspiring creature with a collection of unique luxury goods in two distinct editions. Chinese Horse Symbolism Occupying the seventh position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Horse symbolises such character traits as strength, energy, and an outgoing nature. Extremely animated, those born under this sign thrive when they’re the centre of attention. Always in search of a good time, Horses keep the crowds happy with their humour and their wit. The Horse is a symbol of nobility, intelligence and perseverance. It said that people born in the Year of the Horse are smart, fabulous speakers who have a gift for getting through to other people. They believe that their aim in life is "to seek individual freedom and happiness." Created in partnership with the French jeweller Philippe Tournaire, S.T. Dupont once again combines bold inspiration with exceptional know-how and expertise, in an entirely hand-made line of treasures, The Horse ‘Prestige’ collection, limited to 88 pieces. Hand-sculpted on a Néo-Classique President fountain pen of black Chinese lacquer, the Prestige collection’s yellow-gold plated Horse, with its splendid mane, sits atop the luxury writing implement. The horse’s eyes are set with two diamonds of 0.4 carats. The Prestige edition pen is set on a sculpted base in yellow bronze with a burnished hand patina bearing an engraved plate. The Horse ‘Premium’ collection shows S.T. Dupont’s unique savoir-faire as Master lacquerer: a golden horse is embedded in six layers of black Chinese lacquer on either a large, elegant pen or a smart set of cufflinks. The Premium Collection is limited to 888 pieces for each. 3 6 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I S.T. Dupont celebrates the Chinese New Year with its ‘Horse’ Limited Edition Series
