BT Global Challenge Theme Products BT Global Challenge Theme Products

It is often desirable that one has a range of products, at a range of prices, which demonstrate a consistent theme, for instance where a corporation wishes to project its image as widely as possible, or an organisation may wish to publicise itself and raise funds.

We are in a position to help develop such thematic groups of products. This is best demonstrated by the set of products we designed and produced in relation to the BT Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race.

We designed and produced the Princess Royal Trophy, the perennial trophy for the race (see trophies) and then the products shown above which incorporated much of the theme and symbolism in the trophy. Details of the items are :-

All items are in hallmarked sterling silver with gilt detailing where stated.
Plate The rim is heavily embossed with the inscription "The 1996 1997 (BT logo) Global Challenge Yacht Race".  At the centre is a bas relief projection of the six figures of the trophy and of the globe. The rim and centre piece are gilded (diam:10 inch).
Vase At the base of the vase is a scaled reproduction of the six figures of the trophy. The figures and base of the bowl are gilded (ht 10inch).
Boat This is a model of the Challenge yacht presented sailing on a vigorous silver sea with seven crew members active on deck. The base is wood and the silver treated to make polishing unnecessary (ht 6inch).
Pendant & Brooch The complete trophy is represented here with the six figures reproduced as a frieze which is gilt. The piece is available as a pendant with a 22inch chain, or as a brooch (ht 2inch).
Paper-Knife The same piece as used for the brooch and pendant is mounted here as a paper knife (8½inch).
Cufflinks The six headsails have been chosen as the element of design for the cufflinks. The enamelled globe is represented by a cabochon pin (or brooch), or tie clip.
Tie Pin The headsail element and frieze of figures are mounted here as a tie pin (or brooch), or tie clip.
