In fact the opposite requirement is essential for a watchmakers workshop - that of a de-magnetising tool.
This has been a fascinating thread. Douglas' comment reminded me of my mother's telling me about the days (the '20s) when she worked in a jewellery and watch shop. It seems that part of the process of demagnetizing watches involved all the help forming a circle and joining hands, with demagnetizing device AND the static electricity source included. It seemed quite a jolt to her, and extremely dangerous to me. But life was a bit scarier then. For what it's worth.
