Fully agree on Jaeger. It’s a German name and at least to me it seems legitimate to pronounce it in its original language. Most Swiss Germans do so. On the other hand Edmond Jaeger was born in Alsace which was French at the time (before it became German and then French again). Edmond went to Paris before teaming up with LeCoultre based in the Vallée de Joux. Not surprisingly the brand itself uses the French pronunciation. Although this seems to be the preferred way you could get away with the German version.
To the people suggesting Jaeger should be pronounced with a German accent: Edmond Jaeger was a frenchman, born in Andlau, Alsace, a region of France both nowadays and when he was born, so you should pronounce both Jaeger and LeCoultre like he's pronouncing them, with a French accent.
Well, however in Alsace Jaeger is pronounced the German way. It doesn't mean when a region is located in France that they all speak French. In Alsace many (older) people speak a mixture between a German dialect and some French words included! So pronouncing Jaeger the German way seems more correct to me than to pronounce it French! 🤔
So he likely would’ve still pronounced his name the German way but to end the argument, all people from geneva pronounce Jaeger like the German way and Le Coultre in french
Tudor. Family name of fairly early English Kings and Queens, including the infamous Henry the eighth. Pronounce it like “ Chew - duh”. Also, your repeating “ Hublot, Hublot,” reminded me of the wonderful 1950s JaquesTati film ‘ Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot ’ or ‘Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday’ in English.
Your ironic "facepalm" pronounciation of Seiko (セイコー) is actually quite correct, the "i" is diminished and sometimes even reduced completely to just a simple stop.
It's humorous to me that while looking to hear the pronunciation of Yema, a French brand, I've come across two Frenchmen who made pronunciation videos and neither mentions Yema. Is it Yem-a, Yay-ma, or Yaw-ma?
Dude, he is literally from Switzerland, where these companies originate from. He knows how to pronounce them the right way. And that is German when they are from the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
@@watchcraft Also, Rolex are originally an English brand from London, England, so the English pronounciation is the only correct one, same principle for every brand, otherwise people could just pronounce every brand wrongly. Glad you mentioned Omega, big O, oh-mega, I am irritated by people calling it Omeeega.
i thought bremont is British, why pronounce it like that? this video reminds me of that twilight meme 🤣🤣🤣 the elitist vampire leaders. close to proper pronunciation is the aim not the accent.
Thanks for the informationI I did not know. How do you pronounce it in Polish? Antoni Norbert de Patek did change is name though to ANTOINE Norbert de Patek (french pronounciation of the first name). So I assume he wanted the whole name to be pronounced french. Or do you disagree?
@@antoinemozart243 Since this video is about how to pronouns correctly watch brands and Antoni Patek was Polish and I know how to say his name correctly I only mentioned his surname.
Well, Tissot is located in the French speaking part of Switzerland (Le Locle). Therefore it's pronounced French: "Tisso". (You don't pronounce the last letter "t".)
In your interesting logical deduction I can understand that my 30 years of reading doesn't makes me intelligent . Books are for stupids no? Who knows things doesn't need books! Lets burn them!!! I forgive you because of Jaeger.
I want to know how to pronounce MAJESTRON!! I have an old one, very likely worth the cost of making it to begin with. But I can't find anywhere to show me how to pronounce it and it's making me insane because of my OCD. How is it pronounced????
1:25 no man, you are wrong, you don’t say patEk, you say pAtek, with the accent on the the a, not on the e. If you don’t trust me, just check how Henry Stern, who owns Patek, pronounces it…
Yeah don't pronounce the Czech name properly! Say it the way the man who bought the company says it! Guy by the name of Stern, not Howard but Henry. They may be cousins, I think, idk. On second thought, I'm sure they are. They all are.
@@girthbrooks39 antoni patek, the founder, was Polish. Then if he was a Polish guy with Czech heritage, may be, I don’t know. My understanding was that his partner, a guy named Czapek, was Czech. So maybe that’s where you are getting confused.
@@AjejeB no you are confused, Patek was a Czech that happened to live in Poland. You may subscribe to the magic dirt charade however that does not make it true. Having polish citizenship does not make a man a pole. I am a citizen of the United States however that doesn't make me an American Indian. I am a German. No matter what patch of dirt I reside on I will always be a German, I will always be a German until I exist no longer.
There are so many rude comments in here trying to tell a person from German-speaking Switzerland, where many of these watch brands originate from, how to properly pronounce them in (Swiss) German. Are you guys serious?
Being a swiss german, your french is not bad. Though french NEVER emphasize on the first syllable. Hope that your viewers follow your instructions anyway 👍

Basically French is full of spelling mistakes.

I’ve been in love with Lange for years now and I’m just getting it down lmao
Make some effort and earn a better future，don’t just give up and be proud of it，that’s lazy and disappointing

I am Asian and I am developing a sore throat learning how to pronounce the RRRRR
😂😂😂
4:14 is pronounced wrong... It's "Shiiiit"
Or hubleeeerg
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: wtf happend to your beard, bro?
😂😂😂
Hublot = eww-blow 😆
I guess you speak German fluently. Your pronunciation is just perfect.
I usually speak Visa or Master and sales staff don't seem to mind!
Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Secondly oh my god I’ve Ben pronouncing them all wrong my whole life 😅
Regarding the pronunciation of "Jaeger". Edmond Jaeger was French, not German, so surely the French pronunciation is correct?
If people move, their names stay the same. It's not so easy.
Texans say Rawlex and Aidemore Pickelget, Patex Filipiii. Yeeehaaww
😂😂😂😂
dying
The yeehaaw killed me
I tried several times and just can't get Cartier to sound close to authentic as you did. Still appreciate the education.
IWC is english name. International Watch Company of Schaffhausen
This is a fantastic video. I just purchased my first JLC which brought me here. But I learned a ton. Great job, and thanks! Subbed.
Patek is polish sername: Antoni Patek.
If you can afford these you can pronounce however you want IMO 😂
No lol. It just shows you have 0 acknowledge of what you have.
Surprised I didn't see Longines on here. -Lawn-jean-. "S" is silent.
To 99% of the people watching this
Tie-mex
Ka-see-oh
Should cover all the watches you can actually afford.
:-D you should still put a french twist on it. more fun
Citizen, also....
This is like asmr for me
haha i like your swiss german accent, good french prononciation
1:13 I beg to differ, but the right pronunciation for the “de” in Audemars Piguet is not “dé” or “they”, but “də” almost like “the”.
You are partially right. In fact the "e" is mute like the "s" : Audmar Piguet
Oh•May•Gah...I like to say it the way it is, O•Meh•Gah
im only waiting of tissot coz d only watch i can afford but not mentioned
Thank you so much.
I learned a lot from u. God bless and can’t wait for more videos
A French person would pronounce Audemars Piguet as “O-Du-Mar / Pee (short voweled) Gue….
I choked myself at 4:21 trying to say Hublot
How about Hublot? Is is Hoob - low, am i correct?, but Rolex is o.g. "Rolex"
Bvlgari is an italian brand. It's pronounced BUL-ga-ri. With a hard R.
I can only afford Casio but I know how to pronounce it, so thanks.
rappers saying Paddek, instead of patek

When you say German, do you mean Deutsch?

As a famous Kaiju Hunter, I pronounce it Yaygar
The R sound in Panerai and Bvlgari is the italian sound, not the french or german sound as it was said in the video
you're right. my italian is pretty bad :-( apologies
In the UK we pronounce Tudor, like Chew-dor, rather than Two-dor. 👍🏻
Tudor is pronouced with the "u" as a capital. Lik T you dor
You missed Casio. Interestingly, it is pronounced _kash-ee-oh_ by Japanese.
Thanks for sharing. Didn't know.
@@watchcraft Welcome. Just out of interest do you prefer French, German or English as a language?
Too controversial. Only safe inquiries here man, geez!

Tissot? Richard Mille? Fredericue constant
Teasaw, Reeshar Meel, Phrederih Constan
Something like that 😅
Bremont is a British brand using supposedly a French surname... I think pronunciation should be British. Watches are made in the UK. ....
What is wrong with his left side beard. Something weird and I can't remove my gaze from it .
Still I can’t pronounce some of these brands correctly 😀 Thanks for educating us
happy to help
Good video
Your ironic "facepalm" pronounciation of Seiko (セイコー) is actually quite correct, the "i" is diminished and sometimes even reduced completely to just a simple stop.
oh thanks I'm glad to hear that I wasn't completely off
How do you pronounce Casio?
Almost the same but with a more pronounced K at the start and a longer O at the end.
CAH-zee-yo. 😆😆😆
Now that I've heard Nico Leonard say it, I'm never going back. :)
It's humorous to me that while looking to hear the pronunciation of Yema, a French brand, I've come across two Frenchmen who made pronunciation videos and neither mentions Yema. Is it Yem-a, Yay-ma, or Yaw-ma?
IWC : international watch company ! Nothing German !
TAG : Technique d'Avant Garde ! Nothing to do with the German word tag !😏
Dude, he is literally from Switzerland, where these companies originate from. He knows how to pronounce them the right way. And that is German when they are from the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

yeah my mistake with Bremont. British pronounciation
help me understand how to pronounce ORIS :) thank u
The pronunciation of a brand in different languages are different....
So it's not a very important issue....
Ya im fucked lol
So you mean to tell me that you don't pronounce Hublot like Hublot?
You pronounce Panerai and Bulgari with heavy accent on the “R” , it’s a soft “R”
From America: I've seen the 1941 commercial. Bulova is pronounced Bull-uh-vuh, not Buh-LO-vuh...
Pull over!!
I just watch another video on how to pronounce watches. She pronounced Jaeger Le Coulte differently..Jaeger sounded like Zhusha
just go with JLC then and you'll be fine :-)
I'm still unsure how to say Timex. Please help
Thanks!

Patek is Polish surname not French and its pronounced differently
Thanks for the informationI I did not know.
How do you pronounce it in Polish?
Antoni Norbert de Patek did change is name though to ANTOINE Norbert de Patek (french pronounciation of the first name). So I assume he wanted the whole name to be pronounced french. Or do you disagree?
And Philippe is French.

No tissot??

Longine?
Yeah I was wondering why there is no Longines, haha.
I'm half German so understand Jaeger but Jaeger was living in France so I guess he would have been french.
We would jay guer in French. It's the same with jaggermeister, french pronunce it jayguermeisteur
@@Kurdent1nah it's more like "gie-gia"

How do you pronounce Bedat so I'm not asking for the W.C. (not the I.W.C.🙂)?
Fascinating - thank you.
No wonder Rolex is so popular. If I buy a jlc or lange, I wouldn’t want to be THAT guy, pronouncing it the proper way.
Montblanc is a German company founded in Berlin and now based in Hamburg. Still doesn’t change the pronunciation. Good video!
