What emotional story does your favourite watch tell?

I like its styling and the santos almost always looks cool. BUT: The movement is supposedly based on a Sellita SW330 which costs somewhere around 400$. At a retail price close to 10.000$ I would definitely not buy this one… 😅
I mean.. there is the „first“ GMT watch, the Glycine Airman, which some say Rolex explorer 2 is just an hommage to:
Also a german here: like the others said, the difficulty lies in the Umlaute 😅
I try to find English sound equivalents for the word:
Its made up from the word Glass and Hütte. Which means small house made of glass.
The word is said in three syllables: Glass - hü -
1. The closest pronunciation to the A in Glass in German that I could come up with is the U in Trump but said just a little bit longer.
2. The ü I feel comes closest to the sound of the vowels in „build“ but there is no real equivalent.
3. The „Te“ is just like in Teddy. Just don’t say the ddy part 😂 very short e.
So the sound melody should be something like Trump-build-te(ddy) but with other consonants.
The emphasis is on the second syllable, that’s why everyone sais “shoot” 😂
(which by the way is the sound of a “u” not „ü“)
I don’t know if that helps in any way, shape or form at all, but I love playing with language itself 😅
Thanks! It’s a piece out of my „hobby-watchmaking-self-restored“ collection and I’m really proud of it 👌🏼🎉
