Einstein and Poincaré

These two gentlemen worked on time synchronization at the beginning of last century, but did not write a paper together. I wonder why? I am reading Peter Galison book: "Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps. 

Time sync was economically important for France and Switzerland, not just a past time for philosophers.
