MOVA Globe White and Gold 4.5" with Base, Solar Powered Rotating Globe No Need of Battery or Chord, Unique Gift and Decoration

Very good quality. Beautiful piece of work

Loved the item. Is for display

This is my second Mova globe. The first one was the 4.5" Satellite View with Cloud Cover. It had an interesting look, but I kind of like the white and gold one better. But with any of the Mova globes, the effect is astonishing. Two things pop into mind that make anyone scratch their head wondering how the laws of physics can be defied: 1) How does it just keep turning with nothing driving it, and 2) How does it touch the stand with apparently no friction whatsoever. I had the first globe for years before it started acting inconsistently recently, so I just replaced it with this new one. The globe sat on my desk in my office, which is somewhat bright with fluorescent lights. I never needed to put it near a window. I wish I had a nickel for every person who stopped to look at it, stooping to look underneath it, shifting positions, staring, moving around it, with a puzzled look on their face. When I first saw a Mova globe on someone's desk, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I had to have one. I'm a geek, both professionally and personally. This globe can't be beat by how it looks, how it works, and the sheer effect it has on the observer. I tip my hat to the genius who invented this work of technical art.

I think the MOVA 5.5” globe black and copper is the best globe. It is beautiful and mysterious. It quietly occupies a section on my desk and it sits there slowly turning the beautiful continents around and around. This is not a toy. It is relaxing to watch and if you are a Geek kind of guy this is a must have item.

I wanted to get one of these for a while but the cost put me off. Decided to give one to my son for Christmas because he likes arty things and I wanted to see what they looked like. It started spinning straight out of the box and the stand was easily put together. It was a rather dark and overcast day so that impressed me. The globe looked just right, not too small and the copper and black gave it an abstract look. I will now buy one for myself. I just have to decide which one....
