pronounciasion...
« on: January 28, 2009, 08:08:15 PM »
i always have problem to pronounce certain brand's name...like Maurice Lacroix, Schaffhausen, etc... i came across this website which help to correct it.. http://www.chronometrie.com/watchsounds/watchsoundspage.htm not full range i think but at least some...

Some actually pronounce differently, for example, Longines...try it out ;)

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link Scott. Now we can all pronounce these fancy names like the Swiss! However I think these people regard Rolex as some kind of a joke. Play the sound file and judge for yourself.
