Colgate Clock, Industrial timepiece in Clarksville, Indiana, US
The Colgate Clock stands 40 feet in diameter on the former Colgate-Palmolive factory site, facing the Ohio River toward Louisville, Kentucky.
The clock was moved to Indiana in 1924 after serving at Colgate's New Jersey facility, where it marked the company's centennial celebration in 1906.
The timepiece represents the industrial heritage of Clarksville, marking the transformation from a state reformatory into a manufacturing center in the 1920s.
The clock remains visible from multiple vantage points along the Ohio River, serving as a navigation reference point for river traffic and local residents.
The facility grounds contain former prison cells that housed inmates who assisted in converting the reformatory into the Colgate-Palmolive manufacturing plant.
