The "Planet Erde" globe makes it possible to visualize a multitude of astronomical concepts; -elliptic orbit around the sun, -earth rotation on its axis, -duration of the day, -solstitial points ... The lit globe illustrates the concept of day, the 3 zones of twilight, ... A luminous point indicates the sub-solar zone, i.e. the place where the sun does not create any shade at midday. All these concepts can be observed for a given day-hour-place by an adjustment of the dial at the foot of the globe. The sphere is shipped complete with its instruction manual of 44 pages (in english). View instruction manual of Planet Erde (PDF of 2.25 Mo) |

The Renaissance map.Style of the antique maps with the oceans in parchment colour, coloured borders around mono colour countries , a frigate, a wind rose, sea-serpents, ... The illuminated map reveals the navigator routes from Christophe Colomb to Magellan. This map was carried out according to some 16th century originals by integrating the current borders. Its warm colours underline the traditional character of this globe. We don't just print our globes; we strive to create an incredibly deep, flawless shine. It all starts in our state-of-the-art 'clean printing room', where our craftsmen work just with superior acrylic sheets. Bringing in all kind of papers is strictly forbidden, because it would bring in fine paper dust particles which could later be attracted in the printing process. Printing up to 18 successive layers of colors, there's a curing process between each layer, along with an inspection and careful cleaning. Once the printing is complete, a high gloss clear coat layer is applied over the entire map, than it is sent back for inspection to our cartographic department. Unmistakable COLUMBUS cartography: Splendour of Elegance. |

 Established 1909 in Germany, COLUMBUS is the oldest globe manufacturer in the World. COLUMBUS quickly became and continue to be the World's best-selling line of luxury globes ( Chaplin chose in 1940 the Columbus globe "Die Erde" for his world famous film). Popular features such as internal illumination (1948), dual-mapping (1955), the Day and Night Globe (1972) were all innovations introduced by Columbus globes. While being innovators and leaders, Columbus is also focused on preservation of traditional globe manufacturing processes such as the exclusive mouth-blowing of crystal spheres and the hand laminating of cartography. |
