“At first I couldn’t understand a word but I’ve had nothing to listen to since Watch and Listen went off the air so I persisted. Now I have the beginnings of a glossary based roughly on the Wade-Giles romanization system of Mandarin Chinese:
Gran Say-kee-ooo = Grand Seiko
Been Kl-aye-mair = Ben Clymer
Morris Grows-man = Moritz Grossman
Br-egg-gay = Breguet
C-air-tee-ay = Cartier
Teen un t-woo = ten and two
Aye doob-uh-yah see = IWC
A-dree-anne frum B-arr-k un Jak = Adrian from Bark and Jack
“I’ve got that in the morning and poke yer bum with it” = self lubricating wood (lignum vitae)”
