Similar design cues in very different forms
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. |
