who we are

Independent by Nature

We are an independent watchmaking team built around engineering discipline and rigorous enamel expertise. The workshop brings together the founder, who leads both the technical development and the design, three enamel masters with more than sixty years of combined experience, a dedicated goldsmith, and long-established Swiss manufacturers working at Haute Horlogerie standards.

Remaining small is a deliberate choice. We prefer to create a few watches that are perfectly made rather than increase production or accept investors with volume targets. Most of our work consists of unique pieces, each approached as a new project with its own technical challenges and creative research.

Independence gives us the freedom to build every timepiece from a blank page, with no marketing constraints, and the time required to achieve uncompromising quality.

Lucas

Founder

Lucas Roillet discovered Swiss watchmaking in 2014, during his studies in mechanical design engineering, when early work on micro-mechanics and design brought him close to production workshops. The encounter felt immediate and decisive. After refining his sense of precision and responsibility within the aerospace industry from 2015 onwards, he returned to watchmaking with a clearer vision: creating objects where art and engineering coexist naturally. He founded Deguiret in Tbilisi in 2021, then in Neuchâtel in 2025, building a bridge between Georgian cloisonné enamel and Swiss horological discipline. Today, he guides each creation with the same focus that first drew him to the craft, seeking a balance between technique, emotion and the quiet beauty of handmade work.

Lika

Enamel Artist

Lika Meskhi is an artist shaped by many creative paths, from her years in dramatic theatre to her studies at the A. Qutateladze State Academy of Arts in 2004. Before joining Deguiret, she spent nineteen years experimenting, searching, and refining her own artistic language, learning how to transform her inner world into precise and expressive enamel work. Her first project for the company, inspired by the theme Traveling in Time and Space, became a turning point and led to the creation of her piece Voyage, which remains her most meaningful work. For Lika, enamel is a slow and meditative craft that asks for patience, calm, and full presence. Each dial becomes a journey inward, built layer after layer, and the final surface reflects every moment of focus and inspiration that shaped it.

Nikoloz

Enamel Artist

Koka Panchulidze completed his master’s degree in civil engineering in 1993, yet his path had already been shaped by years of drawing, painting and exhibiting his work in Georgia and Estonia. That same year he turned to cloisonné enamel and spent decades as an independent artist, collaborating with galleries such as Chardin and Ornament. Precise details, symmetry and visual harmony define his work, with pieces like Echo des Lagons and Aragon reflecting his refined wire technique and sense of balance. Music remains a central inspiration (from classical piano to jazz and rock), influencing his rhythm, color choices and creative focus. A dreamer and perfectionist who finds peace in nature and rivers, Koka brings to Deguiret a calm, thoughtful precision that animates every dial he creates.

Konstantin

Goldsmith

Kote is a jeweler and enamel craftsman who grew up in his father’s workshop, learning metalwork and enamel from a young age. After studying law at the Agrarian University of Tbilisi, he explored many creative fields such as jewelry making, workshop management, video editing, film wardrobe and art direction before returning fully to the craft that shaped his childhood. He has been working independently since 2017, now alongside his wife Lika. At Deguiret, he values precision, problem solving and the quiet satisfaction of bringing a dial to perfection, meant to last for generations. His inspiration often comes from time spent by the river while fishing, where the breeze and flowing water clear his mind. If he had to define himself, he would say that nothing is impossible for him.

Sandro

Enamel Artist

Raised in the workshop of his father, Sandro grew up surrounded by metal, color, and the quiet discipline of handmade work. He created his first cloisonné enamel piece at the age of ten and never really stopped. In 2021, he graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (Faculty of Design, Jewelry and Metal Decorative Plastics), refining a personal language that combines traditional knowledge with a contemporary eye. What drives him is the calm, deliberate rhythm of the process: the precise line of a wire, the balance of proportions, the way metal and enamel become a single clear form. For Sandro, every dial is a continuation of his father’s legacy, a dialogue between generations that gives meaning to each project at Deguiret. Outside the studio, he finds inspiration in nature and in observing small, often overlooked details, which quietly find their way back into his work.
