Pierre Lagisse , almost certainly Pierre Didier Lagisse, Geneva and Ispahan, died 1679.
He is recorded in legal documents in 1660 and 1664 as based in Geneva. It seems likely that he settled in Ispahan after this date, but continued to order watches and clocks, possibly through the intermediary of his son Pierre (Le jeune). Pierre Lagisse became advisor to the Shah. This position enabled him make a considerable fortune during his career.
