Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory 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. ➡️ Show Links https://www.instagram.com/thewatchkingnyc/ https://www.youtube.com/@ThewatchkingNYC ➡️ Podcast Sponsors Hubspot - https://hubspot.com/ Huel - https://huel.com/scott (Code: scott) NetSuite - https://netsuite.com/scottclary/ Framer - https://framer.com/design (Code: SuccessStory) LinkedIn Ads - https://linkedin.com/scottclary Upwork - https://upwork.com/ Dell - https://dell.com/dell-pro AutoPilot - https://www.joinautopilot.com/landing Cohesity - https://www.cohesity.com/datacloud Whatnot - https://www.whatnot.com/ Monarch - https://www.monarch.com/ (Code: success) Cash App - https://cash.app/ (Code: cashapp10) MyFitnessPal - https://podcasts.myfitnesspal.com (Code: SCOTT) Scribe - https://scribe.how/success (Code: SuccessStory) Noom - https://www.noom.com/ ➡️ Talking Points 00:00 – Intro 02:13 – The $160K Watch—and How It All Began 05:45 – The $700 Photo That Changed Everything 06:49 – How Extremism Pushed Moshe Away 13:47 – How Gambling Took Everything 25:52 – Rebuilding Through the Watch Business 30:08 – What Makes a Watch Explode in Value? 36:39 – How to Avoid Buying a Fake Watch 39:35 – Sponsor Break 42:23 – The Diamond District’s Unwritten Rules 48:56 – Was Skipping Business School an Advantage? 50:48 – Why Moshe Trusts Almost Nobody 53:22 – Why He Gives Kids $70K Watches 59:14 – Inside the Robbery That Nearly Killed Him 1:05:30 – Why God Is Not Religion 1:13:12 – Sponsor Break 1:17:47 – Why Failure Is Never Final 1:19:53 – When Luxury Becomes a Trap 1:26:06 – Why Purpose Must Come Before Money 1:27:44 – The Truth About Fake Watches 1:32:23 – Which Watches Are Actually Worth Buying? 1:38:52 – His Biggest Lessons on Business and Life 1:44:01 – One Lesson for His Children
