Proper pronunciation of Tissot?

Maybe a stupid question...I have always said "tea-soh", but in speaking with a local AD, she pronounced it as "tis-it".

Thoughts/opinions?

That is about the way they pronounce it if you call them on the phone... emphasis was on the SO....

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

Ain't French wonderful? ;-)

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 used to say Tiss O. Now I say T so

I acknowledge the correct pronunciation is "tea-so" but find myself saying "tiss-oh" more often.

FWIW, I also still say "Vack-eron Constantine" even though a saleswoman corrected me to "Vash-eron Con-stan-tin."

I'm not even going to bother thinking about JLC.
