Let’s learn about each of them.

Clous de Paris (on the main dial)

This is one of the most frequently used guilloché pattern. The main idea is to provide depth to an otherwise plain surface.

It is the classic hobnail design.Intersection of two sets of perpendicular hollowed (grooved) lines to form tiny pyramidal shapes, and when viewed from a distance.

Below is another example of a physical object with Hobnail pattern.

2. Satine circulaire (in the hour dial): This is a smooth glossy surface, made for the purpose of contrast and separation from other design elements. While not the most visually artistic, consider it like “white space” in any art form. Its effect works in harmony with others.

3. Saute pique (or pique releve) (on the minute circle): this originates from a form of Ballet dance, in which the artist stands up on toes (raised points) and making a chain or ring with fellow artists.

4. Vieux Panier (upper half of circle at “9”): This is one of the beautiful patterns to show the effect of “flow”. Inspired by a flowing wind, it creates a subtle play of lines to bring out a calm and soothing effect.

5. Decor Flamme (lower half of the circle at “9”): Just below the “Vieux Panier” — wind pattern, we have the fiery fire art. The mystic flames works in harmony with the wind together.

6. Pointes de diamant (on the subdial at “3”: This pattern is formed by repitition of individual diamond shaped elements shown below.

By changing the vertex you can make the gradient as per the need.

7. Grain d’orge circulaire (small second subdial at “3”): This art pattern is inspired from individual barley grains. The unique shape of the grain when repeated along intersecting curves, gives the beautiful pattern.
