Our Story

About Lug Life Luxury

Lug Life Luxury was built by a group of young collectors who believe that buying and selling watches should feel personal, transparent, and enjoyable. We are not a marketplace — we are a team that handles every transaction directly, with care and expertise.

The People Behind The Pieces

Mikaailali Waliany

Mikaailali Waliany

Founder

Vacheron Constantin Overseas

I'm Mikaailali, I am a Finance student and one of the people behind Lug Life Luxury. I got into watches a few years ago, starting with a Panerai PAM 86, and what started as a simple interest quickly turned into something I spend a lot of my time learning, trading, and building around. I've always been drawn to watches that balance everyday wear with strong design and long term value. That's what really pulled me deeper into the space and shaped how I look at different pieces. My personal favorite watch is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas with the green dial. I've always liked pieces from Rolex, especially Submariners and GMTs, but I also appreciate what Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe bring when it comes to more unique and higher end designs. For everyday wear, I tend to lean toward Omega. I like the history behind a lot of their pieces, especially the connection to space and speed, which has always been something I'm interested in. Through Lug Life Luxury, I'm focused on sourcing pieces I'd actually wear myself and building a brand that people can trust. At the same time, it's about connecting with others who share the same interest and continuing to grow in the space.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (Skeleton)

I'm Saajan, an Industrial Engineering student and one of the people behind Lug Life Luxury. I've been into watches for as long as I can remember - what started as a childhood fascination turned into something I genuinely spend a lot of my time learning, collecting, and building around. I've always loved cars, and watches felt like a natural extension of that passion. Both are rooted in precision, engineering, and design. That connection is really what pulled me deeper into the space. My dream piece is a skeleton Royal Oak. I'm especially drawn to the mechanics behind watches, particularly tourbillon movements and open-worked designs where you can actually see the engineering at work. Brands that stand out to me are Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and of course Patek Philippe - specifically the 5726. For everyday wear, I also lean toward Omega, especially the Speedmaster and Worldtimer lines, tying into themes of space, travel, and innovation. Through Lug Life Luxury, I'm focused on building something more than just buying and selling watches, it's about sharing that passion, connecting with others in the space, and continuing to learn from some of the best collectors and enthusiasts out there.

Director of Marketing & Creative

Rolex Datejust

I'm Levi, a Computer Science student and one of the people behind Lug Life Luxury. I handle all aspects of the brand's creative and digital presence, including marketing, photography, videography, and digital development, with a focus on building a cohesive identity that reflects the level of quality and attention to detail behind every watch we offer. My interest in watches has grown from an appreciation for design into a deeper passion for the craftsmanship, history, and long term value behind each piece, and I am especially drawn to watches that balance everyday wear with timeless design, pieces that remain relevant and refined over time. That perspective shapes both the way I present our inventory and the types of watches I am naturally drawn to. My personal favorite is the Rolex Datejust, a watch that represents versatility and understated excellence, fitting in any setting while still holding a strong presence. Through Lug Life Luxury, I am focused on building a brand that not only offers great watches, but presents them with intention, clarity, and a genuine respect for the space.
