ISOCHRONE
What it is
Free-rein subject, archetype A (dark cinematic tech). Invented brand: ISOCHRONE, an independent watchmaking atelier in Besançon (France's historic watch town) that makes one hand-finished movement, the Calibre I.01, twelve watches a year, by commission. Goal: impress, and turn that into commission enquiries. Audience: collectors who know what a lever escapement is and people who will learn it here. Traits: precise, patient, quiet luxury, physically true. Content: written from scratch (no owner material); all world facts in the copy are real (4 Hz = 28,800 A/h, 20-tooth escape wheel = one turn per 5 s, temper colours of steel vs temperature, 1 ligne = 2.2558 mm, chronometer positions and 8/23/38 °C testing, Besançon observatory). Constraints: Vite + vanilla JS, GSAP + ScrollTrigger, Lenis; no network images. R1 was canvas 2D only (software-rendered QA Chromium); since Round 2 (owner) the watch and calibre are a real three.js model with cached render bands, and the 2D engine remains as the no-WebGL fallback.
This is the build's own brief, kept as it was written. ISOCHRONE is a demonstration build: it is real, it runs, and it is not a client job.
Measured palette
Six colours sampled from the build itself, in the order they were found. They are listed because a palette is a decision, and decisions should be visible.
