This THORENS Gen-1 Single-Claw lighter is a refillable fluid lighter built with a solid brass body, an automatic single-claw ignition mechanism, and a polished silver finish with a raised brand emblem, designed for users who appreciate exposed mechanics and precise Swiss engineering.

As the first automatic lighter introduced by THORENS, the Single-Claw design represents a distinctive chapter in the brand’s mechanical lineage. The ignition is triggered automatically when the lid opens, allowing the single claw to clasp the flint wheel and generate ignition in one continuous motion. Rather than prioritizing disposability or speed, the design emphasizes structure, tactile feedback, and the visual rhythm of mechanical movement.

Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid lighter system using standard lighter fluid and cotton wick
– Side-mounted refilling port for controlled, clean fuel replenishment
– Automatic single-claw mechanical structure activated by lid opening
– Solid brass body with glossy silver polished finish
– Integrated brand emblem on the body for clear THORENS identification
– Precisely engineered lid and mechanism designed for consistent ignition and long-term durability

This lighter is ideal for:
– Collectors of mechanical or historically inspired THORENS lighters
– Users who value visible ignition mechanics and ritual-focused use
– Everyday carry users seeking a refillable, long-lasting fluid lighter with weight and presence

It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer jet-flame or butane torch lighters
– You want a lighter that requires no refilling or periodic maintenance

With proper refilling through the side port and occasional wick and flint care, this lighter is designed to deliver stable performance and preserve its polished metal surface over time.
