Your clock has a German movement, made by Kienzle, a prolific German maker of movements.

The "Made in England" on the dial of a clock that contains a movement that was made outside of the U.K. or made outside of the U.K. empire indicates that the clock was cased in England.

I am not familiar with "Dominion", but I suspect that it is a brand name of the company that cased the clock.

the Kienzle movement is a good one,7jewels,running on 1.5 Volts.If You want to service it Yourself You should know something of watchmaking,balances,haisprings and the like. You can start by cleaning all contact points , especialy the battery holder.Good luck!

It's written on the movement - you can see it in your post.

Uhralt is right, these are good movements, I hope you are able to revive it because it may be hard to replace it with the same model, they are out of production now.
