And what a market it found! Launched exclusively in the United States in late 1947, it became the first "it watch", finding a place on the wrists of presidents and "Mad Men" in the go-go 1950s and kicking off a genuine craze for alarm watches.

This joint announcement, and the actions of the inventors and companies before and after it, contradict the oft-repeated story of conflict between them.
