I didn’t know of Gino and how important he was for FP Journe, this post now put the new gem set elegante time pieces to a new perspective for me and gave them meaning.
Regarding you, I don’t think your style is muted or is composed of dark colors at all, your new Blancpain and Hublot for example are ( for me ) very bold, striking and colorful pieces, so if I were you I’d cut myself some slack, you have a pretty cool and distinct style.
