I have one and remember the adds fondly since my dad made them .
In those days they  were made by scraping away stuff from blackened paper or
the other way around.
Haven,t read the article but the choice was a coincidence.
Since the flimsy glass deformed a bit in temperature shock tests it was
chosen over quartz faced watches.
I,m still replacing the glass yearly it scratches that easily.
