Moshe Haimoff is the founder of The Watch King NYC, a luxury watch business he built from the ground up in Manhattan's Diamond District without a formal secular education, industry connections, or a conventional path to success. He left New York's haredi community at 22 and made his first deal on an $11,000 watch he flipped for $11,800. He now wholesales internationally, moving millions of dollars in timepieces, with more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram and a roster of celebrity clients. His story is proof that grit can outpace pedigree in one of the world's most competitive markets.
