The field of view here is about an inch. It was shot from a distance of about 10" using manual focus. The small black piece is about 1mm wide in the horizontal width.

Pieces of the balance from a 110 year-old Elgin pocket watch

1" is 25.4mm. The apsc at 1:1 would be 22.6mm, so you're close to 1:1. If you manually adjust to minimum focus and physically move closer to focus, you should reach true 1:1 if you aren't already.
