A study in depth, rhythm, and light, the Olympio Vertigo captures S.T. Dupont’s mastery of lacquer and form in a writing instrument that feels as much like a piece of fine jewelry as it does a pen.

S.T. Dupont’s orignal Vertigo collection was launched back in 1996. DupontCollector notes the 2006 Vertigo II issue was USA-market exclusive and included a large-size fountain pen limited to 400 pieces; General description note the Vertigo II as amber-brown diamonds and “Limited to 400 units.”

Across its barrel unfolds a mesmerizing field of geometric lozenges—subtle, shifting, and almost hypnotic in their repetition. Rendered in warm amber-brown tones through layers of traditional Chinese lacquer, the surface reveals a remarkable sense of depth, catching and reflecting light with every movement. The effect is quiet yet captivating, a visual “vertigo” that rewards close attention.

Framed by Dupont’s signature gold-plated appointments, the pen carries a refined weight and balance in hand. The Olympio profile—clean, architectural, and perfectly proportioned—offers a writing experience that is both substantial and fluid, equally suited for daily use or collection.

At its heart lies a smooth 18k gold nib, tuned to deliver a controlled yet expressive line.
We currently offer this piece in:

• Medium (M) – a more characterful grind, offering subtle line variation and a distinctive writing angle favored by experienced writers and collectors
