Well, I used to work as a watchmaker, and I can't think of any

That's not surprising--in SI, the prefix is the scale factor, and
the remainder is the unit.  I don't think there are any unit symbols
that have multiple uppercase letters.

Is Hz for Hertz not standard?

Yes, it is standard.  Why do you ask?  It's certainly not a unit symbol
with multiple uppercase letters.
