To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

The lovely Métiers D'Art series had the 2025 issue dedicated to the magicians who trap time in microscopic pulleys and cog-wheels: The Watchmakers. Un grand Merci, Roland!



The beautiful in-taglio printed stamp bears the image of the hands of a watchmaker at work, with several tools of the trade on the desk. Images of the tools and little parts that are used to build a watch also feature in the selvage, as can be seen in the cover.

The 2,10 €  stamp, issued on 06NOV2025 is part of a annual series started in 2016 dedicated to Métiers d'Art (Artistic Crafts).

The First day Postmark was applied in Paris.
