WATCH MOVEMENT INCLUDING A DISPLAY RING HOLDING PLATE The movement (10) includes at least one display ring (12, 14) which is rotatably mounted on a bottom plate (16) and which carries markings that will appear in a display zone (22). The ring (12, 14) is fitted with an inner peripheral toothing (24, 26) which cooperates with drive means (20) and which cooperates with a jumper spring (32, 34). The jumper spring (32, 34) is drawn towards the radial abutment position by an elastic return element (40, 42). A holding plate (48) is secured on the bottom plate (16) so as to retain the jumper spring (32, 34) axially. The holding plate (48) is secured on the bottom plate (16) by a bayonet type assembly. The holding plate (48) includes at least one winding member (58)which cooperates with the stop device (32, 34) during the pivoting of the holding plate (48) from the non fixed angular position thereof to the fixed angular position thereof, so as to arm the associated elastic return element (40, 42).
