What do you all think of this:

Avant - 'Perveyors of fine wrist instruments'

Should I drop the cheezy line??

isn't there a company can't Avante?

Edit: Quick search Avant is short for Avant-Garde,... french meaning for Avant is Forward or advance... I don't know.

BTW Bacchus or Dionysus are Gods of wine.

I would think if you have to come up with a name you have to be ready to explain HOW you came up with the name and why?

"Yes ma'am, we are called Bacchus, because I like to drink wine.. or like fine wine we get better with age?" I dunno..

BTW the plural of "god" doesn't have an apostrophe - no plural has an apostrophe - it's "gods".
