Looks like that's a term that has a more specific meaning in the horologery world than it has on a dictionary
an architectural decoration formed by two intersecting wavy bands
Update: not really that limited though
I’d assumed that anyone taking a guilloche class would be deep down the rabbit hole of watches, but that was a flawed assumption.
Guilloche is an expansive art that touches many aspects of craft beyond watchmaking, and the other students were interested in craft techniques in general, and had experience in woodworking, jewellery making, photography, and other artistic skills

Guilloché-style, sure. Real guilloché is done by hand and requires very specialist machinery and skills, and is therefore very expensive. There are so few suppliers that can do it, even a lot of high end brands are starting to use CNC or stamping to replicate it.
That’s a stamped pattern. Which is fine. But it’s not guilloché. The colour’s nice, I wouldn’t have put lume on it though.
