The lion’s share of high-end watch brands come from French- and German-speaking regions, so the correct pronunciations of their names are not always obvious or easy for speakers of other languages.

In this highly entertaining video by our friends at The Watches TV, Marc-André Deschoux takes to the streets of Geneva to get some . . . um . . . fun pronunciations to demonstrate how not to say the names before moving on to the correct pronunciations, which Deschoux expertly rolls off his loquacious tongue.

I hope you enjoy this amusing 14 minutes of watch fun as much as I did.
