Swiza small lantern alarm clock, circa 20^th century

This is a small lantern style alarm clock made by Swiza, a popular Swiss maker of small time pieces. The clock is about 3.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide in the body. The case is heavy and appears to be brass, The face and "crystal" are plastic. The single jewel movement is signed L. Schwab S.A. Louis Schwab was one of the founders of Swiza in 1904. The movement is decently made and uses a single spring for both the time and alarm. It appears to be a one-day clock. Based on the plastic parts, I believe this clock was probably made during the last quarter of the 20^th century.
