Similar design cues in very different forms

Jussi M. · 19th November 2009, 10:08 PM

Greetings,

I apologize if this is not fitting to this forum. Please delete if it is out of place.

I like kerises. I also happen to like watches as some of you might know. A few days ago I took the watch I had on my wrist off and placed it onto the kitchen table on which Solyom´s "The World of The Javanese Keris" was already. Did some daily chores then having to do with drilling, hammering and so forth. When I returned to put the watch back onto my wrist I suddenly noticed a sort of a "similarity" between the two items on the table. - What do you think?

Obviously there was a cross-cultural pollination between the unknown gentleman who designed the lambang Karaton Surakarta, and the technocrat who designed your Seiko, Jussi.

I think you're probably entitled to feel a little bit Royal when you wear that watch.
