I may not know everything there is to know about watches, but my two years studying Ancient Greek helps with the tricky question of how to pronounce “Omega.” Here’s what I pass on to my watch loving forum associates. The ancient Greek alphabet was derived from the Phoenician, with Omega (the long O sound) being [...] I’m sure most people have a list of “wanky” names.
