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
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.
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.
It's probably not in the same league as the brands you mentioned but in the UK Raymond Weil is usually pronounced as Raymond Wheel. I understand that it really sounds like Raymon Vay in French. Thank you for the education.
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?
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 👍
@@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.
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.
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?
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????
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".)
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?

I guess you speak German fluently. Your pronunciation is just perfect.
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.
The best name pronunciation of all the CZcams channels! Thanks.
Lange and JLC are the most conflictive to me, but I´m ok, I can´t afford them anyway.
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
@@hefei4310 so does that mean to you to quit your own job, or not like your job at all? Don't worry, you will grow out of it child

haha i like your swiss german accent, good french prononciation

thanks for the intersting background info! I didn't know
When you say German, do you mean Deutsch?

As a famous Kaiju Hunter, I pronounce it Yaygar
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 😅
I am Asian and I am developing a sore throat learning how to pronounce the RRRRR
😂😂😂
I tried several times and just can't get Cartier to sound close to authentic as you did. Still appreciate the education.
Thank you so much.
I learned a lot from u. God bless and can’t wait for more videos
Montblanc is a German company founded in Berlin and now based in Hamburg. Still doesn’t change the pronunciation. Good video!
Very interesting. I was struggling with the pronunciation of some brands until I found your video. Thanks a lot
I choked myself at 4:21 trying to say Hublot
I'll likely never own one of these fine instruments, but I enjoy language, so found your video interesting and entertaining.
Fantastic knowledge. Cheers for posting.
I usually speak Visa or Master and sales staff don't seem to mind!
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
Tudor. Family name of fairly early English Kings and Queens, including the infamous Henry the eighth. Pronounce it like “ Chew - duh”.

This is like asmr for me
Basically French is full of spelling mistakes.
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
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. 👍🏻
This guy is great! Excellent presentation and video! :)
2:24 this is exactly what I felt about what was mentioned here 0:16 😂😂😂😂
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.
Oh•May•Gah...I like to say it the way it is, O•Meh•Gah
It's probably not in the same league as the brands you mentioned but in the UK Raymond Weil is usually pronounced as Raymond Wheel. I understand that it really sounds like Raymon Vay in French. Thank you for the education.

IWC is english name. International Watch Company of Schaffhausen

I can only afford Casio but I know how to pronounce it, so thanks.
If you can afford these you can pronounce however you want IMO 😂

Fascinating - thank you.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: wtf happend to your beard, bro?

Still I can’t pronounce some of these brands correctly 😀 Thanks for educating us
happy to help
How about Hublot? Is is Hoob - low, am i correct?, but Rolex is o.g. "Rolex"
I See A Hint Of Richard Mille"s Craftsmanship In There...⌚👀🤔
Thanks friend
Patek is polish sername: Antoni Patek.
Kudos for getting JLC right.
Weird to hear "Roger Dubouis" instead of correct "Dubuis". As for the rest, sounds good.
Surprised I didn't see Longines on here. -Lawn-jean-. "S" is silent.
Thanks , this helped a lot 😊
glad it was useful to you
awak banya bodok,cornet!
im only waiting of tissot coz d only watch i can afford but not mentioned
Mal wieder was gelernt, danke

You pronounce Panerai and Bulgari with heavy accent on the “R” , it’s a soft “R”
Thanks!
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?
4:14 is pronounced wrong... It's "Shiiiit"
Or hubleeeerg
4:41 Looking for this one
Bvlgari is an italian brand. It's pronounced BUL-ga-ri. With a hard R.
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"
A French person would pronounce Audemars Piguet as “O-Du-Mar / Pee (short voweled) Gue….
rappers saying Paddek, instead of patek
How do you pronounce Bedat so I'm not asking for the W.C. (not the I.W.C.🙂)?
To 99% of the people watching this
Tie-mex

Great 👍

Bremont is British, I think the cockney accent may be more suitable
my bad, thanks for letting me know

British but with French origin like all names ending by "mont" !😅
Very nice. Thank you.
1:57 Tell James Bond that!

I'm still unsure how to say Timex. Please help
Lucky I purchased brand which I am able to pronounce. The 1st one. Win win!
Very nice!!!
Hublot = eww-blow 😆
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. :)
Thank you!
happy to help
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.
Bremont is a British brand using supposedly a French surname... I think pronunciation should be British. Watches are made in the UK. ....
Nice Thx. I try to pronounce according to where the brand is from. Rolex is originally an English brand, so. will follow the English one.
4:04 You wouldn’t emphasize the “ü” in Hütte so much in German, just a short ü and stronger tt.
You would when you came from Austria😂
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?
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!
From America: I've seen the 1941 commercial. Bulova is pronounced Bull-uh-vuh, not Buh-LO-vuh...
Pull over!!
Boss
Tissot? Richard Mille? Fredericue constant
Teasaw, Reeshar Meel, Phrederih Constan
Something like that 😅
Merci 👍🏿

How is it pronounced????
No tissot??
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".)
How to pronounce "Roamer"?
Richard Mile is missing ?
Ghi-shaakh-Meel (imagine that in French)

The French u is like the German ũ !
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.

help me understand how to pronounce ORIS :) thank u
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 :-)
The pronunciation of a brand in different languages are different....
So it's not a very important issue....
Jaeger wird eigentlich nicht deutsch ausgesprochen, da Edmond Jaeger Franzose war.
Ya im fucked lol
