    Interviewer needs to learn how to correctly pronounce Jaeger Le-Coultre....

    Also on the 2915, the minute counter ticks over at 8 seconds past - needs some work!!

    I noticed how he didn't mention that the hands on the Jaeger Le-Coultre had been relumed (also looked as if the markers had gotten some attention, might just be sloppy application...). I might be overreacting :cautious:

    French accents can be tricky.

    Note quite - they have the Le-Coultre correct, but the Jeager is pronounced more like "Zhey-Zher" - there is no gee sound in the word.

    At least when I was at the JLC factory, that is how everyone I met there pronounced it...

    Ah, what American wants to do a French accent? We're proud of our ignorance, and pronounce it like (Mick) Jagger - Luh Cult reh. :p

    Met him at a JLC event down here several years ago and can second your comment.

    He has a great appreciation for vintage watches of all brands.
