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 homeowners take pleasure in a rousing recreation of chess. Now, they’ll go full checkmate with a chessboard in contrast to every other.

Truly, anybody can personal the Rolls-Royce Chess Board. That is the official identify for this avant-garde chess set, and it seems to be 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, making certain the wooden will age uniformly through the years.” 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 beneath 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 chrome steel heads. In keeping with 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 seems to be wonderful.

So how do you get one? Very similar to shopping for a Rolls-Royce automotive, you must cease by an organization showroom or boutique and fee one. You may select from 13 completely different shades of leather-based for the piece holder compartment and 4 completely different wooden veneers for the board. There is no point out of this being a limited-edition factor, nor how lengthy it’s going to take to get one.

Rolls-Royce would not point out a worth, both. That most likely means we might 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?
