I don't know if there is a thread, or if there was one... and forgive me for my lack of knowledge... but...

How do you pronounce the following names? (spelling it out phoenetically would help)

1) Lange and Sohne
2) Girard Perregeaux
3) Breguet
4) Glashutte
5) Breitling (just kidding) :wowzers


Any other names commonly mistakenly pronounced would be additionally welcome~!
