70 years of passion and precision: behind the scenes of the creation of the ATX Prestige Gift Set
1955
In a small village in the Loire, an adventure was born—one that didn’t yet know it would go on to leave a lasting mark on pétanque courts everywhere: Obut.
Seventy years later, the same village of Saint-Bonnet-le-Château still echoes with the clash of metal, the passion in each movement, and the love of the game.
What if celebrating this anniversary meant finding the balance between the brilliance of the past and the momentum of the present?
At Obut, we chose to honour our very DNA: the precision of every move, the elegance of metal, the warmth of wood... and the emotion of creating something truly exceptional.
Creating the exceptional to honour the essential
At Obut, every anniversary is a promise: to stay true to our roots while daring to explore new paths.
For our 70th, we didn’t want to recreate — we wanted to reinvent, with dedication, respect, and emotion.
The ATX Prestige Gift Set is our way of saying thank you... by creating the most beautiful expression of our craft.
A gift set, a promise: the promise of passing something on
The solid wood case is crafted with the same level of care. Yes, it’s a box — but above all, it’s a symbol of transmission.
The transmission of a gesture, a culture, a French way of life.
Inside, every detail matters: the engraved anniversary logo, the unique number, the wood’s texture, the protective felt…
Everything has been designed to make opening the box feel almost ceremonial.
When metal becomes memory
Some objects we make. Others, we shape over time — with our hands… and with soul.
Because this triplet is no ordinary set of boules fresh from the workshop.
What we hold is no longer just a competition boule, but a fragment of history — a legacy we can feel at our fingertips.
Every curve reflects a patiently passed-on savoir-faire; every engraving tells a chapter of the Obut story.
A tribute to true enthusiasts
This gift set isn’t for everyone.
It’s for those who still feel the thrill of their first point shot, who’ve watched generations gather around a jack, who can recognize an ATX by touch alone.
It’s for our loyal fans, our community, our family.
70 years. 70 pieces. A piece of soul.
This is how the ATX Prestige Gift Set was born: not a reissue, not a marketing product, but a case filled with emotion — a heartfelt thank you to all those who have shaped the Obut story: artisans, players, champions, and passionate weekend enthusiasts.
Step into the heart of the workshop: where the magic happens
Some moments can’t be described — they have to be felt.
In the quiet hush of the workshop, between flashes of steel and steady hands, a deep emotion flows — almost tangible.
We captured those precious moments for you, camera on shoulder, heart pounding.
Because this edition is more than a gift set. It’s a story. A breath. A memory in motion.
Obut, always has been — and always will be
Years go by, courts evolve, faces change. But at Obut, the heart stays the same: beating for pétanque, for the game, for excellence.
This gift set is more than a tribute. It’s a declaration of love.
