Very much a prestige project, the IWC Ingenieur '500,000 A/m' featured a movement especially developed (/altered) to withstand high magnetic fields - though side effect was that it was highly sensitive to temperature changes. The ref. 3508 was a commercial nor functional succes, though it was an admirable attempt.
