Internet, e-Commerce / business presentation | | German term or phrase: GEKENNZEICHNET ALS THREE UND NINE | XY Uhren sind immer stylish, daher fällt auch bei den neuen Modellen die Auswahl nicht leicht. GEKENNZEICHNET ALS THREE UND NINE, mit imposanten römischen Ziffern wie III und IX oder auch quadratisch angeordnete arabischen Ziffern.
Can this be translated as "Marked as Three and Nine"?
Thanks a lot in advance! |
| | | English translation:marked as "three" and "nine" | Explanation:
As the further context of your source indicates, some of the models of this brand actually appear to have the words 'three' and 'nine' on the dial. To make sure they are understood as words, I would put them in quotes.
further context: ". In den verschiedenen Kollektion von XY bedeuten Ziffern nicht ausschließlich Markierungen der jeweiligen Stunde, sie sind vielmehr Designelemente des Ziffernblatts."

PS: 'labeled' is another option instead of 'marked'.

Just found the image showing the actual dial. Sorry if this reveals the brand, but it's fair game to anyone with a search engine anyway...

So, in this case, I would put the words in all caps, without quotes, like THREE and NINE. |
