MECHANICAL DIGITAL DISPLAY FOR A TIMEPIECE

A digital display mechanism for the alphanumeric segment display of an integer magnitude whose instantaneous value is defined by an output of a timepiece movement, including a continuous display support guided along a particular trajectory by a guide device and driven in at least one direction of travel by a drive device, including at least a first display surface and a second display surface which are different from each other, each first surface or second surface forming only one part of an alphanumeric symbol, numeral or letter, and arranged to be visible to a user of the timepiece, each continuous display support being either a serrated belt driven by a serrated pinion complementary to the serration of the belt, or a chain driven by a pinion complementary to the articulation of the links of this chain.
