for working on American pocket watches out of the case you need your bench keys. I have an image below and the description of the images and yes they made more sizes in just these.

here's a picture of a typical set. But I also know there's other styles and definitely smaller sizes.

then looking at your picture it appears to be some  issues on the dial side like your fourth wheel for the secondhand is bent and the center wheel is broken off

It can be a bit fiddly to remove the winding out of the case so normally they will be left in the case. Sorry to say but what you are looking over here in England is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You would have better luck with our friends over in America.

as has been said, you need the case. But I bought a complete set of pocket watch keys on Amazon I think. When doing these movements and wanting to give a few winds for testing I've just used a flat screwdriver in the square hole, it fits well enough to verify function. you can also wind the watch by turning the barrel with a screw driver but I wouldn't recommend this as you can break the screw.
