Not just monocles. Eyeglasses and spectacles. And I'm assuming Pepys wasd already a Regent, found this maker and after confirming his purchase as an artifact set about collecting them. Maybe he was a specialized agent that was sent to various places to find artifacts and report them, before they had computers. Like a recon position. Then some of his reports were leaked at some point and are the Pepys diaries as we know them.
