If you’ve ever wondered how a certain watch brand’s name is pronounced, you're not alone. At one point or another during your time collecting, you'll probably encounter a brand name that you're completely baffled by because it's so hard to pronounce. Although many watch companies offer models that are very popular amongst collectors, their names are quite often pronounced differently from person to person -- some continue using a pronunciation that they heard from fellow collectors, others seek official pronunciations through brand resources. Some will just avoid saying the brand’s name altogether to avoid sounding like a uniformed noob.Well, we feel your pain! To help, we’ve compiled a listing of many the brands which have unique pronunciations. The list below lists the brand name, phonetic pronunciation and includes a hot link to the company’s website in case you want to check out their watches. Good luck!
Now that you know how to say the brands like the pros, its time to start building your watch collection and talking about watches! Join Watch Gang and we'll send you a brand new watch every month. You can look forward to getting your watch PLUS the chance to win iconic watches like a Rolex or TAG every week!
