1. A horological display mechanism (100), for a timepiece (1000) comprising:
a case enclosing at least one movement (200), which movement (200) comprises, about a central axis (D) defining the centre of said movement (200), a plurality of drive wheel sets, said display mechanism (100) comprising a structure (900), said display mechanism (100) comprising at least one display support (10) which encloses at least a first display (901) and a second display (902), and which is arranged for the simultaneous display of at least a first variable on a said first display (901) under the action of a first control mechanism, and of a second variable on a said second display (902) under the action of a second control mechanism, said first control mechanism and/or said second control mechanism being arranged to be driven by one of said drive wheel sets,
wherein each said at least one display support (10) is a substantially cylindrical body extending radially relative to said central axis (D) about said structure (900) and said case, constitutes an outgrowth of said case, and is radially projecting from said structure (900) and from said case in the direction of a basic axis (DA),
wherein each said unit display support (10) comprises a chamber which is sealed to the external environment of said timepiece (1000), and
wherein one of said first display (901) and second display (902) is capable of moving in translation in a direction parallel to or coincident with said basic axis (DA) and the other of said first display (901) and second display (902) is capable of moving in rotation relative to a direction parallel to or coincident with said basic axis (DA).
