Guilloche explained: It is a common mis-perception that the term guilloche refers to a type of enamelling when the term actually refers to a process.

Guilloche is from the French word meaning "engine turning" it simply means "engine turning patterns" and refers to an ornamental pattern. The technique as it pertains to decorative items such as this Clock and jewellery involves carving a design into a base metal, afterwards such items were enamelled in various colours.
