Eton watch c.1920s any ideas?

I am not that familiar with that era of swiss watches (much more with Eton), but based on my experience with american watches, I think that this is a late 20s to mid 30s watch (and yes the hands are all over the place and there is a screw missing on the case, but I wear it on occasion). Any ideas (this so reminds me of early -20s- waltham movements, minus the two adjustmens)?
Answer:
...both wrist and pocket, that were made in the style of US pieces in the pre-WWII period, sometimes even using watch cases from the US case companies. They were competing against the US product that had gained a good reputation. Brand names were also often chosen to appeal to US or European markets.
Your Eton certainly looks to be a design from around the late 1920s/30s, both in case and movement. It's nice little watch. I don't recognise the movement offhand.
