I know the pain so well though, I took every precaution working in a barrier area so the screws couldn't fly out when I picked them up with my admittedly barbarian level tweezers and somehow it still looped up in the air high enough to clear everything and disappear into the ether.

I didn't mention it, but I actually lost the canon pinion of that new movement, just being stupid while handling it. That's how I found those two springs, while looking for something else.
I couldn't find this thing with a flashlight though, so I vacuumed my room, emptied it out into a bag (hooray for Dyson vacuums), and swished a magnet around in the dirt and was able to recover it.
My next workshop is going to be clear and free of clutter, so it should be easier to recover things. I decided I won't touch that new movement until I'm set up in there.
