And if you have to use a power converter to run it, and clocks use whatever AC Hz cycle rate tthey're made for (which is 60Hz in the US) to keep time properly, will it still keep accurate time? A higher or lower hertz rate than what they have in the UK will throw it off.

You might need to grab a power adapter though, since the UK doesn't use the same power standards as North America. Try Contemporary Heaven
