Looks like a clock from the early 1930's going by style of movement and case.
The dials were made by Beta manufacturers and were also used by other companies.
The cases were of English construction as were the rod gong units.
The British made gongs were tuned by Ron Smalley, a blind man.
Your clock's movement is one of those directly derived from an old BADUF design.

The Enfield Clock Company (London) Ltd. was formed in 1929 by Carl Schatz, J W Roles, Charles Baxter Sr. and F. H. Chisholm at Pretoria Road, Edmonton London N18. Schatz was was a shareholder in Badische Uhrenfabrik (BADUF), and shipped the first machinery over together with a team of 14 persons from Germany (10 men & 4 women), to set the machines up and help with the initial manufacturing. The company was sold to Smiths in 1933 and became part of Smiths English Clocks Ltd but continued trading independently until the 1940's.

"Clockmaking in England and Wales in the 20th Century" by Bill Wolmuth and John Glanville goes into plenty more detail about Enfield and Smith's.

The movement is the Enfield K1 and was produced from 1932-40. If you have the 'original' key that may narrow down the dating as the initial design was changed around 1939.
