Default AA battery clock conundrum

James Sweet:

By "analog radio clock"...... do you mean one that receives WWV or other
time signals as the original post described? I have a wall model that
takes Qty 4, AAA batteries and I have a portable/travel model that takes
a 9 volt battery.

snipped original post by "Ian.2":
"Some years ago I bought a radio-controlled analogue clock module from
Maplin, and used it to replace the standard clock module in a cheap and
cheerful wooden wall clock I'd bought from Argos. The clock synchronises
itself with the Rugby radio time signal, so always keeps exact time - even
adjusting between BST/GMT. It's fun to listen to the radio time pips and
see the second hand of my clock in perfect syhnchronisation with them.
Well, there's so much tat on telly these days, what else would I look at?"

I have an analog radio clock that works just fine off a single AA battery,

I
installed a Quartex movement in it, so they do exist.
