To the Viewers of the Gage's KNOPF N.Y.-405 website: It's my opinion that the 405 Timepieces are outstanding watches. From the prototypes to the finished product, everyone were kept informed of the various stages during development. The Timepieces are refreshing, unique in design, authentically SWISS fabricated and verified. Its detailed, has exceptional fit / finish and remarkable lumed. The crown could have been larger though, it is somewhat diminutive for My appendages. The Presentation Box is visually appealing, well packaged and internally detailed. A lot of effort went into the materialization / culmination of this collection. Gage Enterprise initial timepieces would be a welcome addition to anyone's watch collection. I've purchased all three model variations and looking forward to KNOPF's next horological project Billy R. Lewis

I opened the box for my watch this morning, to find a stunningly beautiful timepiece. The face of the watch reveals a layering of embossed materials, that give it a 3D sense of design. The very considered design of the Knopf NY-405's face and body, is based on visual elements of the Chrysler Building in NY. The watch projects both a bold rawness, coupled with a refined delicacy simultaneously, which is a hard feat to accomplish. The embossed bezel uses both Arabic and Roman Numerals, framing the face, while not overwhelming the design. The sweeping second hand is a whisper, present, but not competing with the dynamic design of the face. Again, beautiful watch!

It has been a long wait, and boy was it worth it. The packaging was ultra luxurious, with a beautiful black box showcasing the Knopf logo, black against silver. Opening the box showed a black envelope containing a lovely thank you and the warranty card. A warm grey cloth was next, gently covering the watch. I opted for the two-tone, and unfolding the cloth, it shimmered. This watch packs a powerful presence, the architectural cues showcasing the bold face. The bezel markers mix Arabic numerals with Roman across the 60 minute demarcations.Truly a lovely watch, a discussion piece if you will. The bracelet is heavy, but not unpleasantly so, enough to lend a sense of solidity. It has an etched clasp with micro-adjust, although i haven't haven't had to play with it, as the bracelet fit my 8 inch wrist pretty well out of the box. All in all, I am very happy to add this to my collection. It brings a unique and elegant presence, and Knopf has done a great job imbuing that from the packaging to the watch, and all the elements between (including a certificate of authenticity). They have made it feel a truly bespoke experience.

Excellent Timepiece. Well made . Highly recommend to anyone looking for a watch. The Lume on the dial will blow you away Nice work guys Bob Watson

I am proud to be one of the first to own a Knopf NY-405 timepiece. These are true works of art. I have the blue/black and gold/black. The packaging and COA are classy. Well done, Knopf Team. Well done.
