In 2003 the MOVA Globe, was created by Bill French in his basement in a small San Diego beach town, Cardiff-by-the-Sea. A physicist and inventor, Bill was inspired by his love for solar energy and magnetism. How does it work? Each globe has a transparent outer shell, made from carefully selected, high-quality acrylic, that remains stationary while an internal one rotates using advanced magnets for torque and solar cells to power the movement. No batteries. No wires. Just light is needed to power MOVA Globe.
Equal parts dramatic and simple, this globe boasts a world map in gold amid a sea of the deepest blue. It's a sleek choice for those who want a minimalist vibe, as well as collectors of world maps.
