I just did. Using a 3mm square rare-earth magnet stuck to the
clock-stand set very close to the teeth, a drill in the 3-jaw and a
gear on the drill.

It worked well. A larger magnet would work better, but I think the
magnet has to be of the order of a tooth-pitch.

Looks good, if you are in the US (oddly there seem to be lots more on
ebay.co.uk)
