Observation
Over the Christmas season Monocle will be going up a gear rather than winding down. But of course we’ll still find time to enjoy a glühwein or two in St Moritz.
Inventory No. 41
A round-up of beautiful and functional objects, including one-man-branded leather wallets and artist-designed backgammon boards.
Pride of place
White goods company V-Zug may lack the global brand recognition of its rivals, but it’s proving that Swiss precision and attention to detail can go a long way in a competitive market.
The plough factor
If you’re in the market for the latest tractor or combine harvester, the National Farm Machinery Show is the place to be. Monocle goes to Kentucky to sow our seeds.
Business
A firm that makes exoskeletons for people with paralysis, a Filipino fast-food chain and other news of enterprising endeavours.
Drone Home
Unmanned military planes and helicopters are a controversial subject but visitors and exhibitors at the Unmanned Systems North America trade fair were unfazed. They’re more excited about drones that can do the housework.
Flying the flag
From Portugal's telecoms giants to a Brazilian flip-flop maker, we pick 15 companies making waves in Portuguese-speaking world and beyond.
Inventory No. 54
Some of the most coveted items in the Monocle office this month are the Bruno Swiss-designed bike, the Murano glass Happy Pill vases and leather duffle bags by Beastin.
