Monocle: A Chronicle of the First Five Years

Monocle has been much more than a magazine, keeping an eye and ear on the world, briefing its loyal readers on international affairs, business, culture and design. Over the last five years the London-based publication has grown to a comprehensive staff of over seventy, housing both journalists and photographers that create original work. Monocle has also developed its own television series on the Bloomberg network, two large format resort newspapers, and embassy-like shops retailing past editions, clothing and coffee. March’s issue will mark the five-year anniversary of the enterprising media company and as a tribute, its team of originators released this video chronicling the first half-decade, as well as the future of the brand.
