Weird watch distortion I can't figure out

A while back I placed a quartz wall clock in my utility room downstairs. Right above the washer and dryer and about three feet from the house breaker box. A brand new clock. I noticed the clock ran really funny. I would reset it and forget about it for another month or so. And then I would notice the clock WAY off the mark by a long shot. I replaced the batteries etc. but it kept happening. Finally, I threw it away and put another quartz clock in its place. This clock was used in the kit
