Similar design cues in very different forms

[Jussi M.]

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?
