Now, I am assuming that CW have not gone backwards several decades in their material choices, so, looking at what other manufacturers have done here, I am assuming it will be a rounded, clear, sapphire crystal layer on top of a coloured under layer? If so, how about this for a thought….

Re: The future is Aquitaine... ?
So how about the CW "Quinoa" watch line? "Kwin oah"? "Keen wah"? I'm always interested to hear North American pronunciation of English language words with French roots: I respect "fill ay" over "fill it" but when I secure my sailing vessel afloat I'm never looking for a "boo iy".

Some other brands

I'm just wondering...has this thread gone slightly off topic? I feel like I'm listening to a Rosetta Stone language lesson.

Re: The future is Aquitaine... ?
I am coming at this with absolutely zero concrete knowledge on what CW is doing and how these things are actually made. However, looking around at 50 or so bezels made from sapphire, it looks like the majority are printed on the underside. Some of them look like they were etched on the underside and then filled with some sort of material.jkbarnes wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 2:27 amThat’s exactly what I’m hoping it is!

This thread has many examples to look at.
The Lorier Hyperion has the old Bakelite look.
The original Bakelite watches were just printed on the underside of the material.
Sometimes it looks like the Bakelite was also etched and filled with lume. Like this Fifty Fathoms.
If it is the Fifty Fathoms look they are going for it will probably be etched and lume filled.

Re: The future is Aquitaine... ?
You've got me then. It could be anything. There's a National Trust place near Alcester called Coughton Court, and I'm sure that's pronounced Corton Court. (as in Cort'n Court). Maybe your's is pronounced Ko-t'n.albionphoto wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:16 amNope.JAFO wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:46 pmCorton?albionphoto wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:04 pm I'd like to offer Coughton in Warwickshire.

With respect to Uttoxeter, there's an urban myth that it's pronounced Utchitter by locals.

Re: The future is Aquitaine... ?
This is the same place. Coughton Court near Alcester. It's definitely pronounced Co-tun (or similar). I have family named in the chapel there. But, despite my wife's wishes, I am not a Throckmorton.JAFO wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:25 pmYou've got me then. It could be anything.

Just shows how errors worm their way in. I will definitely remember the correct pronunciation from now on!
