Indulge in a high-stakes night of backgammon or a leisurely game on the beach with the James Bond Poker Set by Globe-Trotter.
Background. Backgammon has a long history with James Bond. The game appears in Octopussy (1983), where 007 steps into a game with Kamal Khan in India. Taking control of Khan's ‘lucky’ trick dice, Bond bets the Fabergé egg and wins. Producer Cubby Broccoli and Roger Moore played backgammon between shooting on the sets throughout his time playing 007. On location in Greece on For Your Eyes Only, the pair played for high stakes throughout the shoot, but somehow came out almost even by the last day.
Details. The backgammon set features a high-quality leather board in tones of blue, grey and white, set inside a signature grey Globe-Trotter case. The interior has separate compartments to hold dice, heavyweight blue and white counters and leather shakers, so you can transport it with ease on your travels.
Made from Globe-Trotter's signature vulcanised fibreboard with vegetable tanned leather corners and metal hardware, the Poker Set features a co-branded metal plaque on the lid.
Vulcanised fibreboard: lighter than aluminium and tougher than leather, vulcanised fibreboard is Globe-Trotter's unique proprietary material and is made from 14 layers of recycled paper bonded with zinc.
Corners: The iconic leather corners take five days to craft and complete and are moulded using time-honoured machinery for optimum strength and form.
Serial plaque: Each case is truly one of a kind, individualised with its own unique serial number. Find it on a metal plaque inside your case.
The makers. Established in 1897, Globe-Trotter suitcases and travel accessories are handcrafted in Hertfordshire, England by highly skilled artisans using original manufacturing methods and machinery that date back to the Victorian era. The 007 cases are made to order from panels of vulcanised fibreboard: a unique material invented in Britain during the 1850s that is as strong as leather and as light as aluminium. Each sheet is moulded into shape using a method patented by the company in 1901, while the case’s black leather corners are moulded on Victorian press machines over a period of five days to ensure optimum strength and form.
