Dupont was founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont and initially made briefcases and leather goods for diplomats and businessmen. In 1924 the company moved its workshops to Faverges in Savoy, where production continues to this day. The first series-produced lighter was made of aluminium in 1941, because brass was not available as a metal essential to the war effort; since then pocket lighters have been among the best-known products of the brand, alongside writing instruments, watches and accessories. The case shape of this travel alarm clock with its brushed surfaces and gold-coloured edges takes up the pocket lighter of the house, the clock module is only revealed by pulling the two case halves apart.
