Hertzberg Clock, Street clock in downtown San Antonio, Texas.
The Hertzberg Clock, standing 17 feet tall at the corner of North Saint Mary's and Houston streets, functions through hand-wound weights and mechanical mechanisms.
E. Howard & Co. of Boston manufactured this cast iron and brass timepiece in 1878, initially placing it in front of Eli Hertzberg Jewelry Company on Commerce Street.
The phrase 'meet me at the Hertzberg Clock' remains a reference point for San Antonio residents, marking generations of social gatherings and community events.
Located at 29.4265° N latitude and 98.4914° W longitude, the clock received its most recent restoration in 2008, led by retired clock repairman Ed Gaida.
The timepiece operates solely on kinetic energy, similar to a grandfather clock but with components specifically engineered for outdoor conditions and durability.
