The Colgate Clock in Jersey City has a diameter of 50 feet, making it one of the largest clocks globally.
The clock was constructed by the Colgate-Palmolive Company to commemorate its centennial anniversary.
Originally situated atop the Colgate factory, it was moved to its current location at the waterfront when the factory was demolished.
The clock's mechanism is electrically driven, ensuring its hands move with precision.
The clock represents the industrial era of Jersey City and the significance of the Colgate-Palmolive Company in the region's history.
Its prominent position on the Jersey City waterfront allows it to be seen from across the Hudson River.
