1. Not heard of this.
2. Slow but steady is ok in British English.
3. He repairs watches and clocks sounds ok.
He's a clocks and watches repairman. This doesn't sound right as it is a sort of job description. possibly he is a clock repairer? Or restorer might be a better word. Of course, as Barbara points out, horologist is the official word but most people wouldn't know
