Abstract
A timepiece display mechanism includes at least one display having a shaft, and having at least one plate and/or a bridge carrying at least one guide device for carrying and guiding this shaft around an axis, including, on a first side of said axis, a support surface comprising a V-shape or a pad, symmetrical with respect to a bisector plane passing through the axis, to centre the axis of the shaft on this bisector plane, and on a second opposite side, at least one holding element substantially diametrically opposite the support surface, all the holding elements exerting on this shaft a resultant elastic return force directed towards the axis, and preventing any radial exit of this shaft out of the guide bearing which is a platform with two parallel faces.
