The magnetic field of your clock motors can be measured, or visually seen with a small hand compass.

I wouldn't expect there to be much influence even a few inches away, and a foot seems to be plenty unless the motor is very powerful when on.

You can shield your watches from your clocks with a ferrous plate between them, to redirect the magnetic field influence.
