The Columbus Krauchenwies Illuminated Desktop Globe 13 Inch is an irresistible offering from the German manufacturer! The 13 inch sphere reaches 17 inches tall atop the stainless steel base. A thin half-meridian frames the world globe itself, which features a time dial at its apex that corresponds with the latitude and longitude grid.
The Krauchenwies was released by Columbus to celebrate their 100th year anniversary. The desktop globe features the German manufacturer's newest DUO ALBA map. After developing the uniquely styled political map, they chose this world globe to debut it. The desktop globe was named after the town in Germany that Columbus is located in, Krauchenwies. The DUO ALBA map features a sleek whitish-grey ocean hue which becomes blue when illuminated. The soft, earth tones of the landmasses on the political map takes on some three dimensional shading of the planet's physical attributes when the model comes alight.
The acrylic world globe's map was hand cut by skilled artisans and manually applied to its surface. This process requires years of experience from the craftspeople as it is unforgiving and time intensive. The meticulous attention to detail is what ensures Columbus' quality. Savor the unique style of the Columbus Krauchenwies Illuminated Desktop Globe 13 Inch! The breathtaking grey and silver color scheme of the distinctive map thrills with its modern design, and makes in essential addition to the contemporary decor in your home or office.
