guilloché
Guilloché is a decorative technique involving intricate, repetitive geometric patterns engraved onto surfaces, traditionally on metals like watch cases or jewelry. Created through precise mechanical or modern laser engraving, these patterns serve both aesthetic and functional purposes: they enhance visual appeal and reduce the risk of counterfeit by making the surface difficult to replicate accurately. The fine, detailed designs reflect skilled craftsmanship and often add a textured, sophisticated appearance, making objects like high-end watches and jewelry instantly recognizable and more valuable.
