We all know that the name
Monaco carries great cachet around the world, so, as Christmas shopping gets underway in earnest, we thought we would bring you a selection of luxury goods each week that just happen to be branded with the name of everybody's favourite principality.
This week,
mobile phones and accessories
Grand Monaco phone by Gresso (Switzerland) $3,200 (approximately €2,300)
The Grand Monaco Collection has been developed as a homage to the race cars of Formula 1. Gresso Grand Monaco phones are the embodiment of the best features of legendary supercars. The case is made of a strong yet light titanium superalloy, developed exclusively for Gresso, and covered with hi-tech ceramic. Among the other materials derived from the racing world are ultrastrong light carbon, alcantara, and genuine Italian leather with water-resistant coating.
Top of the range is this stunning red alligator-skin model. Weighing 120g, its 30MB memory can be supplemented by mini-SD card. Connectivity is excellent, with WAP, GPRS, Edge and Bluetooth, while the Li-ion battery gives up to 5 hours talk time and 300 hours on standby.

Monaco Mobile Solar Charger by Monaco Cases $79.95 (approximately €60) from wirelessground.com
Monaco is also renowned for its policy of ecological sustainability and renewable energy sources, a movement spearheaded by Prince Albert himself. We feel that the next item will appeal to anyone who shares these important considerations for the welfare of the planet - it's a nifty charger for your handset which makes use solely of the sun's energy.
The delivered current is tiny in comparison with that from larger photovoltaic panels, but within six to eight hours it will completely re-charge your phone, useful if you are nowhere near a mains supply or generator. Not a luxury item as such, but one which will appeal to beach lovers or anyone who is concerned about lack of contact at sea. And with Monaco's year-round sunshine, this could well become the accessory of choice for next summer.
