Timepiece display mobile component (1) comprising at least one resilient strip (4) returned to a display axis (DA), to cooperate in a friction drive with an arbor (2) of a drive mobile component (3) of a movement (100) or a mechanism, about the axis (DA), this mobile component (1) includes a flange (5) comprising, facing each resilient strip (4), an aperture (6) for the insertion and guidance of a manual or robotic tool to allow the tool to move the resilient strip (4) away from its rest position, and to insert the mobile component (1) on an arbor (2) when the resilient strip (4) is sufficiently far away to allow this mobile component to pass, and to ensure a constant friction value of all the resilient strips (4) on the arbor (2) when they are in frictional cooperation with the arbor (2) and when the tool is no longer in contact with the resilient strips (4).

A timepiece includes a mainspring, a power reserve hand configured to indicate a remaining amount of windup of the mainspring, an indicator wheel provided with the power reserve hand attached thereto, and a solar wheel configured to rotate in a first direction when the mainspring is wound, rotate in a second direction reverse to the first direction when the mainspring is unwound, and provided with at least two pinions, one of the pinions configured to drive the indicator wheel.

A display mechanism (100) allowing display change with a single display mobile (150) so as to indicate a first piece of information with a first counter (110) and second piece of information with a second counter (120). This change is performed by the permutation of a clutch organ (130) displacing between a first position (131) and a second position (132) when the clutch organ (130) is controlled by a control organ (140).

In manufacturing of a first electroformed component and a second electroformed component having portions fitted to each other into close contact, after the first electroformed component is formed, the first electroformed component is used as a portion of an electroforming mold to form the second electroformed component. Using the first electroformed component as a portion of the electroforming mold to form the second electroformed component, the shape of the first electroformed component is transferred to the second electroformed component. As a result, multiple types of components differing in shape may be accurately manufactured concurrently in a series of manufacturing steps.
