Compass

THORENS Round Pocket – Compass is a refillable brass soft flame lighter distinguished by its classic round silhouette, intricate mechanical design, and compass-inspired relief detailing. Inspired by the shape of a traditional pocket watch, its rounded body features a refined silver-tone finish, a detailed compass rose, directional markings, degree graduations, and concentric decorative rings. The compact, palm-sized design combines everyday portability with collectible appeal, bringing classic mechanical design and the spirit of exploration into daily life.

A Classic Reawakened. Mechanical Charm Rediscovered. The Round Pocket series brings back a classic round lighter design that had been discontinued for decades. Its design draws on THORENS' early round lighter designs and patent-era mechanical concepts. The distinctive circular body and ingenious mechanical linkage reflect the brand's enduring interest in combining mechanical ingenuity with practical functionality. Today, THORENS reintroduces this classic design, reconnecting historical mechanical craftsmanship with modern everyday use.

This lighter features a distinctive linked ignition mechanism. Opening the lid activates the mechanical linkage, which drives the flint wheel to generate a spark and ignite the traditional wick-based soft flame. By integrating the opening motion with the ignition process, the mechanism delivers an intuitive operating experience while preserving the tactile appeal of a traditional fluid lighter. The classic wick flame and rounded body combine to make each ignition a distinctive mechanical ritual.

The front features a compass rose as its central design, with finely detailed directional points extending outward and surrounded by concentric circles, dotted rings, and directional markings. Cardinal directions such as N, S, E, and W, together with intercardinal markers such as NW, NE, SW, and SE, are complemented by degree graduations around the outer ring. These elements create a cohesive visual language inspired by traditional navigational instruments. The silver-tone finish highlights the intricate relief lines, enhancing their depth and definition through subtle variations in light and shadow. A polished rounded frame completes the design, combining vintage navigational character with a clean and distinctive decorative style.

The bottom features a threaded cap with a ring pull. Unscrewing the cap provides access to the refill port for adding suitable lighter fluid. A built-in compartment inside the bottom cap stores a spare flint, making it convenient to carry a replacement. Combined with its refillable fuel system and traditional wick-based soft flame, the lighter is designed for continued use with regular refilling, flint replacement, and wick maintenance. Its compact, rounded body is well suited to everyday pocket carry and also makes it an appealing collectible inspired by classic mechanical design and navigational aesthetics.
