If I were running a German company, I probably wouldn't name any of my products after the most famous failure of all aviation history, not to mention it being associated with the pride of the Nazi army. ...But that's just me.

xalsxIf you had read the history of the Hindenburg and why it turned out to be filled in with Hydrogen instead of Helium as the Germans wanted (and by this they were made to change the design ended on a bigger aircraft that intended) , perhaps you would refrain to make comments such as the one you made. ... But that's just me.

ozzy_sclThe reasons why it happened does not change the fact that it happened, and that some company is celebrating the failure by naming a watch after it. Let me know when your new product launches. We can call it “The Bermuda Traingle.” Sounds exotic right?

xalsxThat's true, but it makes you wonder, have not the U.S. prohibited the use of Hydrogen (because as always being paranoids about another country attacking or invading, when has always been the other way around, but that's another matter...) would the accident had happened?
