How do you pronounce watch brands? Here's how I pronounce some of it,

Omega - O-Me-Ga
Audemars Pigeut - Aw-Dee-More Pi-Gay
Rolex - Roll-X
Patek Phillipe - Pah-Tech Phill-Eep
Breitling - Bright-Ling
Panerai - Pan-Er-I
Tag Heuer - Tag How-Er

I always pronounced Omega as "oh-MAY-ga," since that's how I learned the Greek alphabet, although once I started running in watch circles, the "oh-ME-ga" seems to be preferred.

Heuer seems to be pronounced "HUE-er" in America, but watch guys seem to prefer "HOY-er."

Here's a question for the real experts, though...is "IWC" pronounced "Eye-double you-see" or "IWC?" (one syllable)

;-)
