My Interview With Alain Crevet Ceo St Dupont

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I recently had the chance to interview Alain Crevet, the CEO of ST Dupont. We have touched on many topics like:

 

- change of current lacquer and return to all-natural vegetal extract lacquer for all pen collection

- possibility of an event dedicated to pen brands only. Something like Basel World or SIHH

- the collaborations with Star Wars, Bond and Marvel

- the future of the luxury pen market and more

 

 

I thought it might be interesting for the ST Dupont lovers to find the latest regarding the brand directly from the man at the helm. Here is sthe link:

Interesting, but of course also containing some just plain wrong information. It is not impossible to apply lacquer to a round object by layering and it does not have to be sprayed as ST Dupont has shown by some of it's products in the past. Spraying versus layering is simply an economic and production decision.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
