Great video, one little detail, I might be wrong but I believe you misspronounced Skoda , it starts with a Š sound in slavic languages, which is SCH in German like S in Sport. Also, fun fact, in Czech language, if written with small letter š, it mean damage or loss or injury, like Schaden in German :) Love your channel, keep up the great work!

Hi, for jeager I disagree, because the family and edmond jeager himself came from Alsace.. And the Alsace prononciation for '' jaeger '' is in fact like the '' hunter '' in German, so you. Prononcé it like the jeager in German 😉 most horrible is nowboby looks fit the story of the family of edmond jeager.. Thzr is the real answer, but in Paris, they all sayd it like French style and certainly himself, but in the origin it is jeager prononced like your mother tale 😉

So glad you cleared up Aldi, I've always pronounced it how it's spelt but many here in the UK pronounce it 'Aul-di' to distinguish it from Audi
Very cool to hear some of the history of the brands. That was fun. 😁

Great video! I definitely learned some things (I was 100% pronouncing the first part of Jaeger Lecoultre as as if it was German). Minor correction: the “g” in Longines is definitely not silent. It simply makes a soft “j” sound like in the word bonjour, rather than a hard “g” sound like in the word “gift”.

It's always fun listening to the correct pronunciations of things.

You should try pronouncing some of those correctly???????

Well done on the French named brands, so many people get it wrong. Just one thing : the final « n » in Blancpain not technically silent. If the name was Blancpai, the second part of the word would sound like the German « ä ».
Jaeger LeCoultre would be the one I would have a difficulty trying to pronounce in front of people... I just don't wanna get embarrassed. hhh.

Just pronounce it as people would in your home country. After all we don`t say Paree instead of Paris, Moskva instead of Moscow, Munchen instead of Munich, Roma in place of Rome etc. Trying to pronounce a foreign name if you not of that country can sound a bit pretentious. Vorsprung durch technik as Del Boy would say.
