Abstract: The method for manufacturing a timepiece component (10) having at least one first portion with at least one functional flank, for transmitting energy to another component or dissipating energy from another component, and at least one second portion with a guide surface,
includes carrying out a first micro-injection (E1) forming a blank (10′) of the timepiece component, the blank having the at least one first portion and the at least one functional flank and a blank of the second portion,
then a second machining (E2), particularly a second laser machining, in particular femtosecond laser machining, of at least part of the blank of the timepiece component, this part including the blank of the second portion for forming the second portion with the guide surface.-
