"I would think they try to hold it over 1 day, so that mains driven

clocks don't run slow or fast.? That being said, I wonder how many

clocks are still being built using a synchronous motor drive? Given that

all the clocks on appliances in my kitchen have drifted apart, I'll bet

they use their internal microcontroller crystal as a reference."

Actually I think all of my kitchen appliances use line frequency for time 
reference - it's so easy to count.
