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

Coincidentally, I have a capture of a similar watch part. Not a pocket watch, but similar nonetheless.

7mm watch part; About 2x magnification
