Manufacture Auréole · Le Brassus & Place Vendôme

Time and stone, drawn from the same bench.

Maison Auréole is a single Place Vendôme atelier practising haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie side by side — grandes complications built next to high jewelry parures, by artisans who move between both benches.

1847: Founding year
5: Private salons worldwide
12: Active high-complication calibers

Six ateliers, one house

01 Grandes Complications Tourbillons, minute repeaters, perpetual calendars — the mechanisms that justify a manufacture bench. 02 Haute Horlogerie Chronographs and skeleton calibers built for the purist who wants no complication for its own sake. 03 Haute Joaillerie High jewelry parures — unique pieces, not catalogue jewelry. 04 Solitaires & Rare Stones Single exceptional stones, set to let the stone do the talking. 05 Métiers d'Art Enamel, guilloché, and the hand-decoration disciplines machines cannot shortcut. 06 Cabinet Privé Fully bespoke commissions — timepieces and jewelry drawn for one client only.

The halo field

Light, refracted honestly

The field behind this page is not a gradient. Every facet reflects light using Schlick's approximation of the Fresnel equations, with the base reflectance drawn from diamond's actual refractive index (n ≈ 2.417) — that works out to roughly 17.2% reflectance at normal incidence, the same figure a gemologist would compute for a real stone.

Each facet also bends red, green and blue light through three slightly different indices sampled from diamond's real dispersion curve — separate refraction per wavelength is what produces "fire" in a cut stone, not a single tinted blur.

Refractive index (n): 2.417
F0 (normal-incidence reflectance): 0.172
Dispersion (B–G interval): 0.044
Per-channel IOR sampled: 2.410 / 2.417 / 2.438
