I think this will solve the problem for you.. from the oracle so to speak... almost the first word spoken..

Breitling

 

I always thought it was "bright-ling". The video linked confirms that.

 

These are the internationally recognized symbols relating to pronunciations; each symbol/letter below corresponds to a vocal sound. For all intents and purposes, how the OP wrote out Breitling is fine, that's how most people go about finding out pronunciations, but below is a more precise, internationally recognized set of standards. In a dictionary, when you see those strange letters, they are the symbols below and they are a pronunciation guide.

I used to pronounce Breitling, Bret-ling. Until, one day I heard the ADs pronounced it as Bright-ling. When I call up the Breitling Service Centre, they also pronounced the name Bright-ling. That kind of confirms it for me.

I was just going to say the same thing. Call up the breitling office and listen to reception pronunciation. I'm sure they say it correctly .

 

Thanks guys!

 

The only problem with the chart is that it's correct only for U.S., Canadian and British pronunciation of English words. Breitling is a Swiss/German word (as distinct from German or Austrian/German) however, so "ei" is always pronounced like the sharp letter "i" as in Rider. Bright-leeng.

The chart is also wrong for exceptions such as receive, correct for exceptions such as weight, wrong for words such as height.

 

One customer came into my store about six years ago, pointed to the Breitling display and said; "What price do your Burlingtons start at?"
He was way off.

 

lol

I've always called it 'Brightling' and only recently (last week) heard someone mispronounced as they asked where I got my bret-ling from. I was actually honestly confused for a few seconds until they pointed at my watch!

someone once refered to my B-1 as a 'Breville'! It's a great watch but it doesn't toast sandwiches very well.

Although, look at the NVG compatible backlighting on the oven!!! Breville | Choose Your Country

 

The acceptable and correct pronunciation is "Bright-ling"
If you want to be more accurate to how I would say it in Germany, I would include a slight rolling of the "r" and more aggressive ending to the "T" to sound like "BrrighTling"

I live in Texas and can only count on one hand how many people actually pronounce my name correctly on the first try
I swear If I hear one more person call me Bret-ling, I might flip.
