Personal Relationships. Global Reach. Timeless Results.

Every engagement begins with a conversation.

exit.

Source
Need something specific? From dealer-ready Rolex sports models to niche collector pieces, we work the market with speed and discipline.
What We Do
The luxury watch market can feel fragmented, opaque and unnecessarily transactional.
Our role is to make it more navigable.
Lily International Timepieces acts as your advocate throughout the process, helping you understand the market, evaluate opportunities, compare available examples and structure a transaction that reflects your priorities.
We are not focused on pushing whatever happens to be sitting in a display case.
We begin with what matters to you.
Your taste.
Your timeline.
Your budget.
Your collection.
Your story.
From there, we activate our network and pursue the right opportunity with discretion, persistence and care.

Real network execution
We work through trusted dealer groups, private relationships, referrals, and market contacts to locate strong examples.
Relationship-driven
The goal is not one transaction. The goal is repeat business built on clean deals.

Meet Makio- A Brokerage Built Around People
I founded Lily International Timepieces because I have always been drawn to more than the watch itself.
I am fascinated by what a watch represents: achievement, identity, craftsmanship, family, ambition and the passage of time.
My professional background spans business, real estate, public service, international business and entrepreneurship. Across each of those worlds, I learned that enduring opportunities are built through relationships, responsiveness and the willingness to solve problems creatively.
That philosophy now guides Lily International.
I have bought, sold, sourced and facilitated transactions involving watches across a wide range of brands, values and collecting stages. More importantly, I have built relationships with collectors, dealers and professionals across the United States and internationally.
I am based in Washington State and proudly serve clients throughout the Pacific Northwest while maintaining a broader national and global network.
My goal is not to become the loudest watch seller online.
My goal is to become the person clients call when the watch matters.
Need a watch sourced, sold, or reviewed?
