electric clock
Outlet-powered timekeeper
An electric clock is a clock powered by electricity rather than wound springs or weights.
Most modern clocks are electric, whether plugged into an outlet or battery-operated, though the term usually refers to plug-in models: The power outage reset all the electric clocks in the house.
