The invention relates to a timepiece component comprising a base plate (2), a first interference layer (4) in direct or
indirect contact with the base plate (2), and a second interference layer (3) covering the first interference layer (4), the first interference layer (4) being characterized in that it has a thickness of between 3 nm and 250 nm and is made of a first material that is optically transparent in the
visible range of 380 nm to 780 nm, the
refractive index n of the first material being less than or equal to 2 throughout said
visible range, the second interference layer (3) being characterized in that it has a thickness of between 3 nm and 80 nm and is made of a second material whose
refractive index n and absorption coefficient k reach values greater than or equal to 3 and greater than or equal to 0.5, respectively, in at least part of said
visible range.
