At CC Auto Club + Storage, we’ve seen our fair share of luxury lifestyle flexes — but Rolls-Royce may have just raised the bar again, in the most deliberate and decadent way possible.
The iconic marque has unveiled the Rolls-Royce Chess Set, and calling it a “game set” doesn’t quite do it justice. This isn’t just a board and pieces — it’s a symphony of theatrical presentation, meticulous craftsmanship, and unapologetic extravagance.
Designed to be enjoyed in the home of a Rolls-Royce client (read: palace or penthouse), this chess set opens with a single, dramatic motion that mimics the effortless grandeur of a Rolls-Royce coach door. Inside, sculptural ceramic-coated pieces, hidden drawers, magnetic precision, and a Spirit of Ecstasy emblem deliver the same obsessive detail you’d expect from a hand-built Phantom.
Is it over-the-top? Absolutely. Is that the point? 100%.
This isn’t for the average chess enthusiast. It’s for the kind of person who commissions custom veneers to match their yacht’s teak deck. It’s for the individual who considers chess not just a game, but an occasion.
The set took a full year of engineering and experimentation to bring to life. From magnet calibration (six types tested!) to grain-matched veneer squares cut from the same log, Rolls-Royce is delivering a product that’s as much art as utility. It’s functional opulence — even the additional queens are stashed in soft-touch drawers, just in case you promote a pawn in style.
Four veneer combinations, 13 leather options, and aluminum sculpted pieces that echo the design of their organ stops — every inch screams bespoke craftsmanship. Rolls-Royce isn’t just selling a game; they’re offering the same aura of precision, performance, and prestige that defines their vehicles.
At the CC Auto Club, we’re not just about horsepower and handling — we’re about the lifestyle that surrounds automotive passion. And this? This is exactly the kind of absurdly elegant indulgence we love to talk about.
So, is the Rolls-Royce Chess Set too much? Yes. And it’s perfect.
