Colgate Clock, Outdoor clock in Jersey City, US
The Colgate Clock stands 50 feet in diameter on the Hudson River waterfront, featuring an octagonal shape with hands measuring over 20 feet in length.
The clock was constructed in 1924 to replace an earlier timepiece from 1906, marking the industrial presence of Colgate-Palmolive company in Jersey City.
The timepiece represents Jersey City's manufacturing heritage, with its design reflecting the shape of Colgate's Octagon soap produced since 1887.
The clock serves as a navigation point for aircraft operating in the Hudson River corridor and remains visible to vessels traveling along the waterway.
The clock mechanism connects to the US Naval Observatory system, maintaining precise time through a specialized master clock adjustment system.
