Abstract: The invention concerns a timepiece member including a first axis and a first threading intended to cooperate with 5 a second threading provided on a second timepiece member. The first threading is configured so that a zone of contact between the first threading and the second threading extends over less than 50% of the height of the threads of the second threading or is configured so that the zone of contact between the first 10 threading and the second threading extends over less than 0.3 times the pitch of the threading.
