I agree. What were Seiko thinking. I am sure the J.Springs must be the result of a marketing-driven committee.
ROFL!

PITA.
Graham isn't too bad I guess (plain and boring), but in the current issue of Watchtimes, they profiled the Graham "Overlord". Come on now...? Did Sauron wear this watch in Lord of the Rings while commanding the orc hordes? That name is a bit pretentious to me.
rook
how about cjaba,ik colouring,ollech+wacjzasd or whatever it is (and i just pulled the trigger on one - good watches crap name)

Even more so when you know it is the French word for wisteria.
Maurice Lacroix makes great and desirable watches, but the name looks like the sort that is made up and used to market cheap Chinese watches to make them look like an important French fashion house.
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
croton
One of the worst for me... BELL & ROSS... sounds like a couple winos from Cumbernauld !!! :lol:
(i know it's an Anglicisation of the French founders names, but WTF :D )
Should be pronounced BATH-is I believe.
Greek for deep i think
Here's a photo of my large "Balls"
Panerai
funny my pick is Debaufre....i like their watches but wont buy one because of the name .....
wow just reading this thread and this is definitely the WORST name ...lol....lol..... but how funny
turdtime
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Wilsdorf and Davis
But i wish i had one with their name on its dial, case back and crown
:lol:
I saw one of those once, before I saw one of their shops. My first thought was, indeed, "Christ".
PITA from Spain has to be a contender.
Are there any names that sound conventional in English but are funny or offensive to other ears? A la Pajero, MR2 or Nova.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Recta.
Good watches, and in fact produced some high quality pieces, especially noticeable when taking a look at their inner workings. :shock:
AP.
It's probably better than ETA in Spain?
Been mentioned before but Marcello C springs to mind. Sounds like a second rate hairdresser who has never been anywhere more exotic than Stoke to me :D
ladies and gentleman i win.

The sales pitch at least is a sure winner!
"Before you read on Please Do Not mistake this item for some of the cheaper low quality watches available."
Raymond Weil,
Reminds me of a cousin I dislike as well as rats (the disease they spread) :lol: although the cousin is a bit of a rat as well on reflection.
"Goer".
That is pretty bad where I'm from.
The watch isn't that clever either ;)
"toy watches" is pretty bad
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Plural is "are" isn't it?
As in, "Toy Watches are pretty bad". :lol:
It should be "Toy Watch" as that is the name of the company.Plural is "are" isn't it?
As in, "Toy Watches are pretty bad". :lol:
'"Toy Watch" is pretty bad,' means the name is bad.
'Toy watches are pretty bad.' means the watch themselves are bad.
Both statments may be true. however...
Exactly!!!!!!!, been calling them for years!Vulgari more like... :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: i actaully snorted out loud in the office when i saw this!!
made my lunch hour that has......
So you are saying you enjoy a renis in your lunch hour?
Do your work colleagues know?
:wink:
So clever my foot fell off.
Finally, I have found it! THE holy grail of badly named watches:

In particular, check out what it says on the caseback.
:D
So clever my foot fell off.
Could have been ok, but looks like they made an Arse of that watch :D
Authentic BUM equipment? Still sounds like an Arsamatic to me.
Dave
I hear you.
At an old job I was out in the US for a peer group conference and one of the colleagues was called Gaylord Kruse.
I barely kept it together for the three days.
Brilliant - Authentic Bum Equipment - made me snigger
I might bid for this just for the name - fantastic!
I think someone already bought it... wonder who that was? :wink:I might bid for this just for the name - fantastic!
So clever my foot fell off.
Must be the watch mentioned in Pulp Fiction.
i think i saw a comercial for bruno bannani watches now thats the funnies name ive ever heard and im stunned that they do so much stuff whit that rediculus name like: clothing, eyewear, perfume, watches ect
cheers
christian
Exactly! But why? What is it about the name that's so tacky?
:lol:
Vacheron Constantin (i.e. V & C without the &).
1. Seagull
2. Pita
+1 for Ball
Does Seagull translate from something lofty yet confident in Chinese, or is it just a dirty bird like it is over here?
-O
Kadloo, wouldn't want to own one of those.

"Buren"
Reminds me of South Africa and sausages...
(We have got a sausage here in Vienna that is called "Burenwurst" or "Burenheidl" in marked dialect.)
OK, someone is going to have to hold me back here....
At my last job I was responsible for keeping the list of comedy names we came across in our dealings with foreign (and some domestic) banks. The list was over 30 by the time I left. I've just reviewed it and among the gems are:
Richard Head - based in London and quite a senior guy actually
Wayne King - what were his parents thinking?
Fannie Pak - worked in our HK office
Ginger Seaman - friend of a friend
I know this is the wrong forum (and probably thread) for this intervention but I couldn't help myself.
Oh how we used to laugh...
Where I live seagulls are called shitehawks, maybe a better name?
Blame the parents I say.... :lol:
i think dubey and schaldebrand or whatever it is sounds a bit odd. its not the worst. i just think its a bit odd.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
