WHO
Makes all the Sapphire glass they use now and for EVERY OTHER WATCH ( with sapphire glass - there are thousands of them )
There is no problem making small size Sapphires - It's been done for decades. It's the large format Boules that were needed for smartphone / tablet displays that Apple were interested in.
There are many many companies making watch sized glass.

The whole thing stinks of mismanagement, insider dealing and screwing over all the workers.
I am sure they had good intentions but basically didn't have the talent to make it happen.
I still think Apple should buy up the plant and Furnaces and make it work. and give all those dudes their jobs back.
