Way back when we first started this forum, I put up a poll "How do YOU pronounce 'Tissot'?" I came up with about eight or nine variations... and it turned out ALL of them were wrong! :-d
Ignore this link. The guy has a very strong SwitzerDeutsch accent (the twisted German they speak in Switzerland). All the French name are not pronounced correctly, including "Tissot".
Like someone suggested, "Tea-So" is really close. "Tee-So" is also fine. The "T" at the end is muted.
The correct pronunciation is tē' sō. I know it for an absolute fact without a question. Example: I would like some tea so bring it to me now please. ( lol ) on the example only. I know the pronunciation I listed is correct without a doubt.
She told you incorrectly. The pronunciation is tē ' sō. I'm a 100% certain of the way it's pronounced. By the way I don't mean to sound cocky on my reply or original comment. I just simply know how to pronounce as easily as the word deoxyribonucleic acid. ( dna) just running on again. But, again the way I spelled tissot is actually the proper way to say it. There's not a doubt about it.
I always find the best authentication is to find an advertisement from the company on YouTube and see how they pronounce it! Jaeger LeCoultre is a fun one, but let's leave that for another thread!
You're way closer than her. Actually depending on if you pronounce that H in Soh, you're pretty much right. Try it like this "TEE-SO". That's the French pronunciation of this mans surname Charles-Felicien Tissot, he's a Frenchman that founded the company.
Tissot is made of 2 syllables separated by a double S.
So you have to finish the first one with a S and Start the seconde one with a S.
So it's more Tissssot, S have to be maintained to ensure the transition.
HEH this post is 12 years old . . . . .. ...
. . . . anyway . . . .
. . . . From Wikipedia: TissotSA (French pronunciation: [ti'so]) is a Swiss luxury watchmaker.[
