1). a shear cutter should be ok
and/or
2). wrap wire around the pin [and secure with silver-bearing epoxy?]

No easy solution for a wristwatch.
Tubes that are intended for socketing have thicker pins, so clipping them
will put the tube under a lot of stress. Even a rotary tool with a cutoff wheel
will subject the tube to a lot of vibration.
I wouldn't even think of bending the pins.
I think that leaves 2 options
a.. solder the tubes directly to the PCB. The big question there is if the
pins have a solderable surface material. Maybe you could use a rotary tool
after soldering the tubes because the PCB will reduce vibrations traveling up
the pins.
b.. use socket pins. It will work, but it will also worsen the height.
Instead of a wristwatch, maybe a small wall-clock ?
