ORIENT EXPRESS® 2013 LIMITED EDITION (EDITION LIMITÉE ORIENT EXPRESS®)
WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL LIMITED SERIES, S.T. DUPONT PAYS TRIBUTE TO THAT MOST FAMOUS AND MYTHICAL OF TRAINS, THE ORIENT EXPRESS.
INAUGURATED IN 1883 UNDER THE NAME OF “EXPRESS OF EAST”, IT CONNECTS PARIS TO CONSTANTINOPLE, SERVING SEVERAL EUROPEAN CAPITALS ALONG THE WAY. IT IS AN EMBLEM OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, BUT HAS ALSO BECOME A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM AND MODERNITY.
THIS FAMOUS TRAIN HAS INSPIRED NUMEROUS WRITERS, SUCH AS AGATHA CHRISTIE, PAUL MORAND OR PAUL VALÉRY, AND HAS ALSO BEEN USED AS THE BACKDROP FOR A HOST OF MOVIES.

IN THE 1920S, THE ORIENT EXPRESS BECAME THE PREFERRED TRANSPORT OF EUROPE’S CROWNED HEADS, ARISTOCRATS AND CELEBRITIES, AND WAS DUBBED “THE TRAIN OF KINGS, THE KING OF TRAINS”.
THE HISTORY AND RICHNESS OF THESE TWO BRANDS HAVE NOW BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER IN THIS “S.T.DUPONT ORIENT-EXPRESS” LIMITED EDITION, VIA AN INVITATION TO TAKE A JOURNEY IN THIS FABULOUSLY LUXURIOUS ENVIRONMENT. THE PEN EQUIPPED WITH A 18-CARATS WHITE-GOLD NIB, THE FOUNTAIN PEN IS DECORATED
