Laurent's opinion
Le Master Lighter est bien plus qu'un simple briquet : c'est une fusion magistrale entre l'innovation horlogère et l'artisanat d'art. Chaque détail témoigne d'une maîtrise technique impressionnante et d'une vision commune entre deux maisons d'exception. Une véritable œuvre d'art fonctionnelle qui rejoint le luxe des objets les plus audacieux des années 1930, où l'audace et le raffinement ne faisaient qu'un.
