Brass incense plate

These handsome gewgaws are made by a Hong Kong workshop that has been honing its craft since the 1980s. Based in the industrial district of San Po Kong on Kowloon, it is one of the last remaining brass factories in the city. The workshop has created an exclusive brass range for MONOCLE, which includes a trio of keyrings (featuring a flower, triangle or square cut-out) and a bottle opener. All have a pleasant heft and will develop a lovely patina over time.

Monocle has its eyes on new frontiers, from health-tech breakthroughs in France to growing coffee in Sicily. Refreshed and revitalised from a summer break, we get back to work in three new media HQs and meet Dries Van Noten. Plus: the thinkers and fighters plotting Ukraine’s renaissance.

Monocle's get-up-and-go February issue highlights 50 ways to hit play after 12-months of pauses. We sit down with the Greek PM to talk about kickstarting a national brand, do a little disaster planning in Helsinki and highlight the businesses to benchmark from Tokyo to Toronto. Readers can also count on a raft of recommendations, recipes, makers and shaker-uppers – and even an imagined Monocle kibbutz. It's time to press on.
