Horological display mechanism (100) for a timepiece (1000), comprising at least one three-dimensional display support (10), which is arranged for the simultaneous display of at least a first variable on a first three-dimensional display (901) under the action of a first control mechanism, and of a second variable on a second three-dimensional display (902) under the action of a second control mechanism, wherein the first display (901) surrounds the second display (902), or vice-versa, and wherein the first control mechanism and the second control mechanism are capable of being manoeuvred independently of one another, and constitute separate mechanisms, one for controlling the translational motion and the other the rotational motion, or vice-versa.

Self-winding watch

A self-winding mechanical horological movement including a pivotally oscillating weight, wherein the oscillating weight is provided with a decorative disc mounted on the oscillating weight and pivotally driven by the weight. The disc is fastened to a support that includes a stem inserted into a hole provided in the rotational shaft of the weight. The stem and the hole include non-circular section cylindrical portions corresponding with one another, so that the support and the disc are pivotally driven by the shaft. The disc forms a decoration that covers the entire surface of the movement, without requiring technical complexities. The disc can be free to undergo an axial movement in relation to the weight, so that the disc may be removed from the weight when the horological movement is dismantled from a watch case.
