MOVA Globes
Authorized MOVA Globes Retailer · Long Island
MOVA Globes don't sit on a desk — they hold the room. The inner sphere rotates silently inside a clear acrylic shell, powered by ambient room light and Earth's magnetic field — no batteries, no cords, no motor, no switch. Just continuous, soundless motion. The technology is patented worldwide (US, Europe, Japan, China, Taiwan) and was invented by physicist Bill French; the company, TurtleTech Design Inc., has been hand-assembling globes in California since 2003. Twenty years on, no competitor has matched the mechanism.
SVS carries MOVA Globes in two sizes — the 4.5" Classic and 6" Signature — across two anchor categories: officially licensed MLB® New York Yankees™ and Mets™ team globes, and world and geography globes (relief map world, classic earth, planetary designs). All in stock at our Oceanside showroom for desk, executive office, conference room, living room, and the kind of gift that ends conversations because everyone in the room is watching it spin. The 8.5" Prestige is available to order through our showroom on request.
No batteries. No cords. No equivalent.

Patented Self-Rotating Globes from California
MOVA Globes are made by TurtleTech Design Inc., a San Diego company founded in 2003 by physicist Bill French (inventor) and his former Kodak Research Labs colleague Shaw Lin. French prototyped the mechanism in his California basement, then partnered with Lin to launch the company; the trade name MOVA International was adopted in 2015. Two decades in, the globes are hand-assembled in California and the patented mechanism is protected by filings in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, and Taiwan.
The engineering is precise enough that the moving parts are invisible. Hidden solar cells harvest ambient room light for energy. Magnets engage Earth's magnetic field for torque. The inner sphere floats in a non-toxic fluid between two layers of acrylic, rotating so seamlessly the outer shell appears to be one piece. No batteries to replace. No cords. No motor noise. No switch to turn on. Place it on a desk under standard office light or a living room with LED bulbs and it begins to rotate — silently, continuously.
At SVS, we carry MOVA Globes in two sizes: 4.5" Classic and 6" Signature, across the two categories Long Island clients ask for: officially licensed MLB® New York Yankees™ and Mets™ team globes for the lifelong fan, and world map, relief map, and planetary globes for executive desks, libraries, home offices, and the gift that lands well across every taste. The 8.5" Prestige size is available to order through our showroom on request — just call.
The SVS MOVA Globes Experience
SVS Fine Jewelry is Long Island's authorized MOVA Globes retailer. Our 4,000-square-foot showroom in Oceanside carries the in-stock 4.5" and 6" assortment — Yankees™, Mets™, world relief, classic earth, and planetary designs — on display where you can watch the rotation in person before you buy or gift one.
MOVA Globes have become one of our most-requested pieces for the moments fine jewelry doesn't cover — executive birthday gifts, retirement gifts, corporate gifting, client appreciation, the wedding registry add, the new-home housewarming, the lifelong Yankees or Mets fan in your life. They sit on desks at law firms, conference room credenzas, executive home offices, and on the bookshelves of Long Island families who want one beautiful, kinetic thing in a room otherwise full of static ones. The team at SVS can help you pick the right design, the right size for the space, and the gift presentation that fits the recipient.
Every MOVA Globes purchase at SVS Fine Jewelry includes the manufacturer's 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, gift packaging on request, and the assurance of working with a locally owned Long Island showroom backed by 2,500+ five-star Google reviews.
