Dunhill Launches Table Tennis Set to Commemorate the Beijing Olympics
For the gentleman who wishes for a light warm-up before a major match—Dunhill has collaborated with leading sporting goods manufacturer Jack of all Trades to release a “Table Tennis Set” in commemoration of the Beijing Olympics.
A Kit Fit for a World Champion
While various brands have released anniversary models to celebrate the Beijing Olympics, Dunhill’s offering is a rather charming item: a “table tennis set.”
Table tennis, often called the national sport of China, has seen remarkable performances from Chinese athletes at the Beijing Olympics. However, table tennis was not invented in China, but in fact, in Britain. In the 1880s, during the Victorian era, John Jaques III, a distinguished sportsman in England, was the one who created table tennis. His company, Jaques of London, has been crafting the finest table tennis equipment for over 100 years since. Dunhill has chosen a fitting partner as an expert in this field. This table tennis set, born from the collaboration between the two, includes professional-grade rackets and balls.
Table Tennis Set ¥78,750 (Expected to arrive late August)
The set includes two rackets bearing the logos of Dunhill and Jaques of London, and three balls marked with the Dunhill logo and three stars. These are designed to fit within Dunhill's Haymarket leather case. The Haymarket series features an intelligent, ergonomic design combining leather and high-performance nylon. This case, a hallmark of Dunhill's meticulous attention to detail with its signature leather trim, is durable, easy to carry, and suitable for storage, ensuring that a sportsman's prized equipment can be maintained for years to come.
A table tennis set announced in the year of the Olympics, celebrating the host country's popular sport. Such a luxurious and elegant gesture is perhaps a testament to the seasoned confidence that Dunhill possesses.
