From wikipedia -
"ST Dupont Paris is a brand name and manufacturer of
lighters, collectible pens, handbags, perfumes, cigarette (made by Philip
Morris International), and recently other gadgets using the trademark
diamond-head pattern. The company has been producing luxury items since 1872
when founded by Simon Tissot Dupont. The founder of the brand, Simon
Tissot-Dupont was born in Savoy in 1847. S.T. Dupont owes its initials to him."
In 2011 they released a 1001 Nights inspired set of a pen and lighter.
