Rizwan Ahmed, or the “watch meister” as he is sometimes called, has come onto the scene in 2021 and disrupted the luxury watch game in a good way. He uses modern technology and innovation to change the way luxury watches are resold around the world. One of the most significant challenges that he saw was the struggles that some people had with payments for their luxury watches, in order to make payment easier, he started accepting cryptocurrencies on his website in order to allow for a more flexible range of payment methods.
In only a few months he has seen tremendous success and made a good amount of money as well. When asked to share some advice for other aspiring professionals, he gave this answer, “that only thinking of entering an industry that promises to give endless opportunities is not enough; one must always work towards innovation and coming up with ideas that could transform the industry for the better, with the aim to provide more value to people.” This answer seems to be the perfect entrepreneurial answer, seeking to innovate, capitalize on opportunities and provide value for the consumer. Rizwan Ahmed seems to be a great example of a millennial entrepreneur.
I think it is truly fascinating the way that Ahmed has pivoted and changed the way that luxury watches are being sold. I love how he found something new and unique to address the demands of the wide untapped market that was present in luxury watches.
