There was a huge discussion of some American news broadcaster (given that the timing was right and there are a lot of City boys on PH I guess it was the feature Bloomberg were doing, which I saw and noted) pronouncing 'Nissan' as 'Neee-sonhh' with the accent on the first syllable and a super-nasal 'sonhh'. We must be a different lot in here than the PHers in General Gassing.
It needs a knowledge of languages though because Glashütte with the umlaut is almost impossible to spell phonetically in english as are really many of the above especially the second part of ther Jaeger name.I agree with lowdrag on all of these, but shouldn't Blancpain be "Blaw pah"? Ulysse Nardin = you lee say nar dan you-lees nar-dah Patek Philippe = pah tek fill eep ay leave the ay off the end - as you've put it it's spanish. Jaeger-Le Coultre = yay ger le coo chure yay-ger le cool-treh Girrard Perregaux = jee rard peer ay geot(as in peugeot) jirrar pair-ay-go Lange & Sohne = A lanje and sson should be Lan-ger ay zoh-nerĪudemars Piguet = oared-mars pee gway oh-de-mar pee-gay Vacheron Constantin = vash err on con stan tinĪ. Girrard Perregaux = jee rard peer ay geot(as in peugeot)
ZenithHeres my opinion - probably way off Here is a list of names which I think make a good starting point for discussion please feel free to add any others you feel should be included. There are some watch forums which have had a stab at this but there appears to be some differences of opinion on the matter.Ĭan the 'Great PH' do any better? There are after all some great minds on here. So, what's the story then? Can we produce a definitive list for the correct pronunciation of watch names?
