Battle of the time-only Greubels
Signature 1 versus Contemporain. Who wins? And why? ...
The Signature One wins for me!
It might be larger in diameter but it is a lot thinner than the Balancier Contemporain which for me makes it a lot more wearable and more balanced proportionately. In addition, I feel that the Signature One is more legible and that is important in a watch...
