It is not unusual for automakers to dish up some swag to assist promote the model. However we have by no means seen something like this. Apparently, Rolls-Royce house owners take pleasure in a rousing sport of chess. Now, they’ll go full checkmate with a chessboard in contrast to another.
Really, anybody can personal the Rolls-Royce Chess Board. That is the official identify for this avant-garde chess set, and it appears to be like unimaginable. In correct Rolls-Royce vogue, handcrafted aluminum embodies the board and the minimalist items. The wooden veneer for the taking part in floor is laser-cut, with every sq. coming from the identical slice of wooden to “obtain a constant sample within the pure grail, guaranteeing the wooden will age uniformly over time.” Yup, that is one thing from Rolls-Royce.

It will get higher. Small magnets are embedded on the base of every piece, and extra magnets are positioned below every sq.. This retains items completely centered for every transfer, all whereas lending “a way of precision and decisiveness” through the match. As for these items, they’re ceramic-coated aluminum monoliths with polished stainless-steel heads. Based on the automaker, the items are “intentionally evocative of the solid-metal organ stops present in Rolls-Royce motor vehicles.” That is some severely prosperous advertising converse for a chess set—even for Rolls-Royce. We’ll simply say it appears to be like superb.
So how do you get one? Very like shopping for a Rolls-Royce automotive, you need to cease by an organization showroom or boutique and fee one. You possibly can select from 13 totally different shades of leather-based for the piece holder compartment and 4 totally different wooden veneers for the board. There is no point out of this being a limited-edition factor, nor how lengthy it can take to get one.
Rolls-Royce would not point out a value, both. That in all probability means we may by no means hope to afford one, however maybe we’ll see a Rolls-Royce Chess Set on eBay sometime. We are able to dream, proper?
