woof* Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The president of Omega watches was just on Fox business news. They were discussing the relevance of wearing a wristwatch today. The host Varny didn't wear a watch and took a studio head count, cameraman, producers etc..and five didn't wear a watch. The Omega president brought a couple with him, a special run Olympics Seamaster Chrono and what looked like a white rail master. He said Omega builds and sells 2000 watches a day The Varny guy was beside himself as he didn't think anyone wore a watch anymore. Another thing...the president of Omega pronounces it Oh-mee-guh. Ive always heard it as Oh-may-guh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 "The Varny guy was beside himself as he didn't think anyone wore a watch anymore." What an idiot. The watch industry is what - a billion dollar industry. Last time i checked, it didnt disappear. I could understand the host stating that no one uses a VCR, but not wearing a watch? Come on...what an ass. As for the name - being half greek, we pronounce it as Oh - MAA - Ga. So, that is how i will always pronounce it.
