Gone are the days when the car manufacturers have only rely on the sale of cars to make a profit. Nowadays, most brands have diversified their sources of income through various goods offers. From T-shirts and caps to umbrellas and scale models. Even Rolls-Royce has expanded its offers with designer luggage, champagne sets, headphones, cufflinks and even dog collar. The latest product that is followed by the collection with no-wheels is as unexpected as it is luxurious.
Introduction of the Rolls-Royce of Chess sets literally. And as you would expect, it is as opulent as the cars roll out from Goodwood’s factory. The price is now available via the company’s online boutique and is not surprisingly “available on request”. It took a whole year for the development of some of the same high-end materials to be found in RR’s waving cars.
The chess board has an aluminum grille with laser-cut veneer squares, and each network is meticulously applied. Each piece is kept on the spot magnetically and Rolls-Royce claims to have tested six different magnets before selecting the best. Polished aluminum boundaries contribute to the high-end look, while drawers offer hidden memory on both sides of the board, each contained an additional queen for deposit conveyors.
Of course, Rolls-Royce could not resist to brand it with the spirit of the ecstasy, which adorns both the front and the back of the board. Buyers can choose from four veneer surfaces for the board itself and no less than 13 leather colors for the trim. The pieces consist of ceramic aluminum and with polished stainless steel heads that imitate fine jewelry.
Regardless of the price, it is certain that Rolls-Royce customers can easily afford the new chess set. After all, the average buyer spends over 500,000 US dollars for a car in the USA. In comparison, you can certainly say that this merch can only be a rounding error very well.
