Monocle’s September issue is all about getting out there, covering fresh ground and seeing the world anew. This issue surveys the world of transport, from the leading presidential jets and futuristic sea gliders to Europe’s bike-building capital and the appeal of the mini Microlino. Plus: Mongolia’s geopolitical balancing act, Fendi’s artisanal investment and America’s poet laureate.

Published out of London, Monocle was launched as a magazine briefing on global affairs, business, culture, design and much more in 2007.
