We could do


(defun quit-window-kill-buffer (&optional window)
  "Quit WINDOW and kill its buffer.
WINDOW must be a live window and defaults to the selected one."
  (interactive)
  (quit-restore-window window 'kill))

(defvar display-time-world-mode-map
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
    (define-key map "q" 'quit-window-kill-buffer)
    map)
  "Keymap of Display Time World mode.")


But `display-time-world' should probably also use `display-buffer'
instead of `pop-to-buffer' and put the buffer in `view-mode'.  After
all, who wants to edit or navigate the *wclock* buffer?
