Elegant Design and Functionality
The globe is supported by a classically elegant fork base made from high-grade brushed stainless steel. This combination of durability and timeless aesthetics ensures that the Magnum is both functional and visually stunning.

Exceptional Cartography
The map of the Magnum is printed using a high-resolution plotter and hand-applied to the seamless crystal sphere. To achieve a flawless finish with an elegant glare, the map is exclusively laser-printed. Each globe requires 40 hours of dedicated craftsmanship, resulting in its noble size, refined elegance, and unmatched quality—a true testament to German engineering.

DUO Map System

• Political Map (Unlit): Displays countries in carefully matched colors for clear distinction.

• Physical Map (Lit): Reveals mountains, tectonic plates, plains, and sea beds with astonishing relief effects.

The map is manually adjusted on a blown crystal sphere that is seamless and highly luminous. When illuminated, the relief effect is breathtakingly vivid. Columbus goes beyond merely printing globes—they aim for an incredibly deep and flawless shine. This process begins in their state-of-the-art cleanroom, where only superior acrylic sheets are used. Strict protocols prohibit the use of paper to avoid introducing fine dust particles that could interfere with printing. Up to 24 successive layers of color are applied, with curing, inspection, and cleaning after each layer. Once complete, a high-gloss clear coat is applied across the entire map before final inspection by their cartographic department.

This meticulous process results in unmistakable Columbus cartography—a true splendor of elegance.
