"Kitchen Time" ? I've never heard that one...

The clock in a modern house is/was sometimes found on the kitchen
wall. We used to connect a special outlet for it right above or near
the fridge. It was a recessed outlet, so the cord on the clock could
be tucked up behind it.

The electrical code even said that ONLY a clock outlet could be wired
in with the fridge circuit. It made sense, as the clock uses very
little power AND it gave a visual indication of power to the fridge.

Kitchen clocks with cords seem to be a rare commodity now, the
batteries having taken over along with the 'pulsed' things driving the
clockworks instead of real motors.
