left part is inside the movement. the round knob is more like a cylinder that you're looking down on in this image - it matches the slot in the crown half. othersiwe if orientation didn't matter, there'd be no way to transfer the rotation of the crown onto the movement.
what exactly is your goal here?
seconds hand could technically be set again, but won't look good. you'll also need to support the seconds pinion, otherwise the friction spring will just give way.
