Yes, the timing mechanism (speeds escapement) is a discrete unit and you normally would not take it apart for cleaning. You can mark the position of the escapement on its adjustment point for reassembly. The blades are all separate and when you remove the mechanism plate they will usually fall out of the shutter housing so be careful. You might want to note their position before disassembly. I won't say this is a simple job, but it really is the only way to do a complete cleaning.
