I was asked a while ago how I remember where all those tiny parts go?
When I first encounted a disassembled watch, I asked my Grandfather the same question. He said there was no need to remember, "they only go one way."

Very cool! I can sort of see how most of the parts would go together, but for what purpose are the two brass strips near the bottom?

This particular movement includes "dust covers." The upper and lower plates have inward facing groves around their outer edge. When assembled, the two brass stripes slide in there and close off the outer edge of the movement to help keep it clean.
