The first. It has an overall modern look.
In particular, the asymmetric design organization of the components seem artistically overlaid and combined together, whereas in the second it’s as if they are more side-by-side for the most part. Not sure if I’m explaining my perspective coherently. Regardless, that first piece is excellent.
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...

Thats a difficult question. I really like them both and each at their own way
I can easily pull off the bigger S1 and for me this is a more old school GF which i love but the more compact and beautiful BC is also a dream watch tbh. Just recently tried the new one which is amazing . Both much better irl imho ...
Contemporan hands down
The work level and multi layering on thial alone is way better than the Sig1 ...
