An exceptionally rare and highly collectible 1998 corporate-issue "Globe of Natural Hazards" (Second Edition), designed and commissioned by the premier German reinsurance conglomerate, Munich Re (Münchener Rück). Produced in limited numbers exclusively for executive risk underwriters, insurance institutions, and climate scientists, this globe was never available to the public.
The sphere serves as a stunning visual data map tracking severe global risks, detailing historical earthquake fault zones, active volcanoes, major tsunami lines, winter storm tracks, and tropical cyclone patterns.
It rests elegantly on its original, modernist clear lucite/acrylic cross-base, beautifully engraved with a custom kilometer measurement scale and the corporate Munich Re logo. An identical specimen of this exact 1998 globe is held in the permanent collection of the German Insurance Museum. A pristine, intellectual decorative object perfect for a mid-century modern office, corporate library, or curated cabinet of curiosities.
Dimensions: Approx 14.5" H x 13" Diameter
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The globe surface and lucite stand are clean and structurally sound, showing only very minor, faint age-appropriate discoloration at the North Pole cap seam consistent with age and history.
