Speaking of Autavias...

Just wondered. Do you say Aut-ay-via or Aut-ar-via. Is one pronounciation more correct?

You have an 'r' on the second option.

Since the word is made up of 2-others, just concatenate how you would pronounce each of them.
“AUTomotive + AVIAtion” = AUTAVIA

Otherwise, just go to the source:

Makes sense, thanks. Luckily, that's the way I've always pronounced it ('ay'). The 'ar' on option 2 was intentional, to indicate how I imagined some people might pronounce it.

Welcome... maybe an 'h' would've been better for the 2nd option? Ah-ū-t-ah-vy-ah
That said, I personally use both modes, but tend to say it more like Biver pronounced it on that video. In the end, I think it depends on the language being used during the discussion. If it's English, use the 1st option, for others the 2nd.

Obligatory shot...

Sorry, that sounded pretentious. Part of the intent was to recognize that the Heuer family were not-native English speakers, so the original pronunciation was probably with a German or French accent.

I go with Or-Tay-Vee-Ah

But don't ask an Australian how to pronounce things correctly 😉

I was thinking that it looks like the one offered for the original Connected. I wonder if it's the same.

What happened ?
bought it onlne pre-owned in April - seller stated mint + box/papers for heavy discount - the seller (who is both an online and jewelery store) said he nor his wife who has an "eagle eye" caught it - said the original owner did not like it as wife bought as gift and did not wear it "thus mint and complete set" - perfect right? in reality it had the dent on the bezel (some sort of shock damage), and missing the instruction booklet - the only paper was a TAG Heuer accompanying pamphlet and warranty card - it was neither mint nor complete at $3295 and even the box was a little worn compared to my other watch boxes - seller was not as honest as I am comfortable with but it only cost me an additional $335 repair and basic service, so for less than $3700 after repairs and insured shipping costs to LVMH, I am very happy in the end but It goes to show the value of hands on purchases

if anyone has an extra heuer 01 instruction booklet, send me a note (lol, but seriously)

honest people are like gold these days - I find it incredibly discouraging dealing with anything less

it's all good in the end - iconic piece - the watch that launched the latest era
