@@eseskay99 No it is not the only way and there’s a quite logical reason for it. Whilst the Lecoultre part is from Switzerland and within the country the French part (though still most speak German) it is to be pronounced French. However, the Jaeger part of the name comes from the Elsass region, which has been French and then German and French again and German again,.... is to be pronounced German. Given most of the cities names some might argue that Germans occupation was more influential, but that’s totally up to debate and depends on who you ask Despite being born whilst it was French, the Family Jaeger still was German as the names suggests. His mother had the name Weber, which means weaver and especially considering family names come from professions it is very likely that she is from a German family, as does the name Jaeger which translates into hunter. Back in the day there was no „Ä“ so „AE“ was the Common German spelling whilst still pronouncing it German. So there’s a reason why the company says both is fine, French does sound a bit more romantic, but it’s also pretentious to assume it is wrong to pronounce watch brands in a German way. After all the Swiss do speak German and a lot of luxury watch brands are from a German speaking country.

Unbelievable. I just happened to be in this exact scenario. I have $25,000 and not much time but I want to buy a whole watch collection in one go. There is a KZread video for everything.

This was a fun one! I think you could do a lot with a format like this. For example, you could follow my collection rules - 1 watch per brand, and you have to get the most iconic watch from each brand, but only one "type" of watch each in a collection, like 1 diver, 1 pilot watch, 1 dress, etc.

Haven’t seen an AD this well stocked in a LONG time. Also, next time get the Zenith.

dang what a store/AD! they have it all. I would have gone with the Seamaster and the Zenith Chronomaster. I think the Omega Speedy FOIS, Breitling Heritage II, and Cartier Santos are not that nice in comparison to the other options available in the store. If you are going for a dive watch, lume is key and the Heritage II does not seem to have a lot of it, especially in comparison to the Seamaster.

It's a wonderful piece from one of my goto watchmaker, but Longines also offers a range of versatile watches for daily uses in that price range or even less than that. Great content nontheless!

Actually that Citizen watch really surprised me.

You can tell it’s a hypothetical pick when a $1,600 Longines is the beater watch. A lovely watch with heritage which anyone outwith our narrow bandwidth interest group would be delighted with. Fun video and I thought the sales lady was excellent, especially introducing the Shinola.
