Why an Expensive Watch is an Investment for the Wealthy: Secrets from Oscar Sudi and Kipchumba Murkomen
In Kenya, luxury watches are regarded as fashion accessories and investments, particularly among high-profile individuals like MPs Oscar Sudi and Kipchumba Murkomen.
These timepieces symbolize financial appreciation, personal legacy, and social status, enhancing their owners’ prestige and networking opportunities while being seen as sound economic investments.
In Kenya, goods such as high-end end-watches are now seen as both fashion accessories and
investments, especially among the high profile individuals, especially the lawmakers like MPs Oscar Sudi
and Kipchumba Murkomen. In as much as it is a question of personal preference, it is also a sound
economic and social investment.
Financial Appreciation
To social powerhouses like Oscar Sudi and Kipchumba Murkmen, buying luxury watches from the
world’s most popular brands like Rolex and Audemars Piguet is a well-planned business decision. These
watches are said to increase in value in the long run. Limited editions guarantee that the value of such
models rises, the same way as with regular investments. For example, a current Rolex Daytona or an
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak will probably be more valuable in several years. Such appreciation of
financial value makes luxury watches a wise investment for the elites, including Kenyan politicians who know the need to diversify their investment instruments.
Personal Legacy
To Sudi and Murkomen, a watch is not simply an extravagant item but a heritage piece. These
timepieces are considered family treasures, which are inherited from one generation to another and
have histories and or tales to tell. In the Kenyan setting, where family lineage and succession are
cherished, such watches hold a profound individual meaning. They act as physical connectors of the
generations and symbols of individual accomplishment and family pride.
Social Status and Networking
This is the case in Kenya’s political and social realm to the extent that a luxury watch can elevate one’s
status. For MPs such as Sudi and Murkomen, these are not just watches but instruments of success and refined status. In the circles of the upper echelons, it can be said that a good watch can help to gain
respect and admiration from others as a sign of the owner’s status and good taste. This can also lead to more networking because people associated with such symbols of success will likely want to connect
with similar people and create new business or political contacts.
Hence we can conclude that the watches that Oscar Sudi and Murkomen don on their wrists are not just chronometric tools but rather serve a bigger purpose that surpasses time. Only time will tell.
