This is more complex than a standard pocket watch owing to fact it has 2 driving springs. A mainspring and a smaller spring that acts directly on the escapement. This direct spring provides a more constant torque helping to maintain isochronism and doesn't suffer the energy differences that a mainspring does delivering power through the gear train. The mainspring keeps the escapement driving spring wound up. I have one very similar to this, i wouldn't disassemble it until you are ready to. -

Hi as said by @oldhippy it will need to be drilled out. Try usin£ a drill bit in a pin vice, it will be slow but doable. The other way is to drill from the out side of the lug a nd plug and polish when finished. -
