Brand pronounciation!
Just wondering... I have always wondered if I am pronouncing brand names properly...
So lets discuss... Hublot - I pronounce it who-blot. Audemars Piguet - Aw-the-mars Pi-zhey Patek Phillipe - Pa-tack Feel-lip Panerai - Pan-er-eye. A. Lange & Sohne - A-Lang-n-Son Vacheron Constantin - Va-chey-rone Con-stan-tin Cartier - Car-tee-yer Chopard - Sho-pard Breitling - Brit-ling Omega - O-mee-ga Jaeger Le Coultre - Yea-ger Le Coult? Girard Perregeaux - Gee-rard Per-re-jzhou What else? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.. and please add up,  I'm not sure myself either!

I would say - "ublo" for Hublot (in french, you don't pronounce a letter like H for example)
Cheers, Joe

 The one for Rolex seems to be a joke . . .believe the guy is saying, "my ears are bloody good" instead of "Rolex" . . . the others are very helpful though. |
