Timascus & Grade 5 Titanium Chess Set — 32-Piece Luxury Collector’s Edition

Timascus & Grade 5 Titanium Chess Set

This is not a conventional chess set. It is a functional collector’s piece made from genuine Timascus and Grade 5 titanium, created for chess collectors, exotic-metal enthusiasts, design collectors, and anyone looking for a truly uncommon luxury chess set.

The 32-piece set combines the layered pattern of Timascus with the clean finish of Grade 5 titanium. The Timascus pieces display naturally formed patterns and colors created during the forging and finishing process, so every set has its own character. The contrasting Grade 5 titanium pieces are finished to complement the Timascus side.

What Makes This Set Different

• 32-piece collector’s chess set — a complete set combining Timascus and Grade 5 titanium pieces.
• Genuine Timascus — layered exotic titanium alloy with a naturally distinctive pattern.
• Grade 5 titanium — Ti-6Al-4V titanium used for the contrasting set of pieces.
• Magnetic pieces — designed for stable play on the included magnetic playing surface.
• Foldable storage case and playing surface — the included compact case safely stores the chess pieces, folds closed for protection, and opens to become the playing surface.
• Individually made — the forging and finishing process means the final Timascus pattern and color will vary naturally from the photographed example.

A Compact Format with Two Purposes

The included case is intentionally compact rather than a large traditional tournament-size chess board. It is designed to do two jobs: protect and organize the 32 chess pieces when folded closed, then open into a convenient magnetic playing surface when you are ready to play.

This makes the set especially suitable for collectors who want a high-end chess set without committing to a large permanent board. It can be displayed in an office, library, game room, collection cabinet, or other refined space and stored safely when not in use.

Made for Collectors, Designed to Be Played

High-end chess buyers often look for sets that function as design objects as well as games. This set is intended to be both: a playable chess set and an exotic-metal collector’s piece.

Its appeal extends beyond traditional chess collecting to collectors of Timascus, titanium, custom-machined objects, metal art, and unusual handmade pieces.

Why Timascus?

Timascus is a layered titanium alloy known for its distinctive contrasting pattern. Its visual character is revealed through forging and finishing rather than being simply printed onto the surface. Because each set is individually made, the pattern, color distribution, and small visual details will naturally differ.

Made to Order

Each set is made specifically for the customer. The photographs show the style and craftsmanship of the set, but the exact Timascus pattern and color distribution of your finished set will be unique.

For the Serious Collector

If you are looking for a standard wooden chess set, this is not that product. This is an exotic-metal chess set created for someone who values unusual materials, hand-finished craftsmanship, and the individuality of a piece made specifically for them.
