1. A roller jumping timepiece display mechanism, comprising, for the display of a quantity, at least one display which includes a roller and/or a combined roller which includes at least two said rollers, one roller of the at least two said rollers being internal and an other roller of the at least two said rollers being external, the roller which is external including at least one roller aperture arranged to allow viewing or reading of the roller which is internal, each said display being held in the rest position by a first elastic return means, and at least one said display being movable in a rotation controlled by at least one trigger or correction lever included in said mechanism and whose fall is controlled or prohibited by at least one cam included in said mechanism and which is arranged to be driven by a horological movement, wherein said at least one trigger or correction lever is arranged to cooperate simultaneously with at least two said cams towards which said at least one trigger or correction lever is returned by a second elastic return means, said mechanism including at least one upstream display assembly, whereof rotations of upstream rollers which compose the upstream display assembly are controlled by upstream trigger levers, and which is arranged to cooperate with a downstream display assembly to which the downstream display assembly is juxtaposed and whereof the rotations of downstream rollers which compose the downstream display assembly are controlled by downstream trigger levers, and said mechanism includes at least one said correction lever arranged to cooperate with one of said downstream trigger levers, and a mechanism for synchronising levers between said correction levers when said mechanism includes several correction levers, for controlling the rotation of at least one display of said downstream display assembly at an end of a cycle of said upstream display assembly.
