Phonetically it’s three sounds in Japanese, a bit like seh-ih-koh, but generally the seh-ih part blends to be like “say”. So yep, say-co not see-co.
Jaeger is a bit tricky and I’ve heard it pronounced differently even by Swiss people, depending on whether they’re from the German or French speaking part of Switzerland. Yay-ger (hard G, as in the German word for hunter) or jjay-jjere (soft “jjh” sound as in the French “je”). The “Le Coultre” bit I would tend to just say “le coot”, swallow the end of the word and hope for the best. Or stick to “JLC”.
