How do you pronounce Longines

It's all in the title. Longines is some Swiss watch brand with marginal dispute over name pronunciation.

One vote is in and I already feel this is not being taken seriously. Or I am very mistaken and there is a hard G sound and a pronounced S one as well. I kind of doubt it.

This is also almost certainly wrong but I like it in the same way I try to pronounce fajita like some little girl I heard once: fuh-JY-tahs

"Low-EEN-gez"

Don't they skip over the first "N" as well?

You think it is pronounced Loggins? I fear that I won't get a conclusive answer here.

Law gen (except with some symbol above the "e" to show that it is not flat.)

I’m going with Lon Giant Ness. Since I can’t wear any of their watches (as much as I’d like to)

·

This is why no one buys the watch 🤣. They can’t pronounce the dang thing.

The first pronunciation is for Longinus (of stabbing Jesus in the side fame).

I'm pretty sure it's French in provenance so I'm going with the no "s" pronunciation at the end.

#3 therefore is the closest.

Ugh…when it comes to French pronunciation, I simply say “mercy” and call it the day 😂🤙❤️

You smoked out the source of a red herring. I was unaware of the one letter spelling difference.
