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 Vertigo collection was launched back in 1996. The collection features a square geometric pattern done in Chinese lacquer.

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:

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