Classic Elegance & Modern Function The Waypoint Geographic Como is a distinguished 12-inch desktop globe that seamlessly blends traditional aesthetics with modern educational funct ion. Featuring a sophisticated antique ocean color palette and a solid hardwood base, it serves as a handsome centerpiece for a home library, executive desk, or study. Dual-Viewing Illumination More than just a decorative piece, the Como features internal LED illumination that transforms the map when lit. Daytime View: When unlit, the globe displays a detailed political map with antique-style oceans and clearly defined country boundaries. Nighttime View: With the flip of the inline switch, the internal light activates, enhancing the cartographic features and revealing hidden details such as old ship routes and topographical shading that are not visible when the illumination is off. Quality Craftsmanship Designed in Italy, the Como is built for both durability and style. Hardwood Base: The sphere rests on a rich, "lens-shaped" hardwood base that offers superior stability and a warm, classic finish. Metal Meridian: The globe is framed by a numbered metal semi-meridian, allowing you to easily identify the latitude of any location on Earth. Up-to-Date Cartography Despite its "antique" styling, the geography is current. The map includes thousands of up-to-date points of reference, including current political borders, capital cities, and major physical features, ensuring it is as accurate as it is beautiful. Show more
