A horology component comprising an opening having a main axis in a first direction and intended to house a member by the latter being driven into the opening, the component comprising at least one housing structure for housing the member, each housing structure comprising:
- an elastically deformable element mounted in the opening and having a main direction of extension within the opening in a second direction,
- a housing element intended to come into contact with the member, the housing element having a main direction of extension within the opening in a third direction, at a distance from the elastically deformable element, and
- a connecting element between the elastically deformable element and the housing element, the connecting element having a main direction of extension from the elastically deformable element to the housing element in a fourth direction,
- the housing element being mounted on the elastically deformable element via the connecting element,
- wherein:
- the second direction is substantially orthoradial to the first direction,
- the third direction is substantially orthoradial to the first direction, and
- the fourth direction is substantially radial to the first direction.
