Watchmakers and jewelers worked at high benches sitting on low adjustable stools that put their work at eye level. While you could go to a jewellery supply house and buy a custom bench or get lucky and find one on eBay or Craig's list that is not far from you, you could get the same effect by raising your work table with stacked 2 by 4 s or bricks and visiting an office surplus store to look for an adjustable height chair with a short column.
Also go to an office supply store and look at ergonomic work stations, then figure out how you could asjust your work surface and chair height to get the same effect.

What you want to do is bring your projects up to you by adjusting your chair height so that you can keep your neck and back upright, rather than having to bend over to bring yourself to the level of your project.
