Colgate Clock (Indiana)

The Colgate Clock in Indiana refers to a large clock, historically associated with a Colgate-Palmolive manufacturing plant, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. This clock, known for its immense size and prominence, has served as a regional landmark for decades. The clock is mounted on a manufacturing facility previously owned and operated by Colgate-Palmolive. While the manufacturing plant's operations have changed ownership over time, the iconic Colgate Clock has been maintained, signifying a continuation of the location's history and its enduring presence on the Louisville skyline. It is one of the largest clocks in the world, visible for miles and serving as a navigational point for river traffic and a familiar sight for residents of both Jeffersonville and Louisville. The clock's ongoing maintenance and operation are generally supported through agreements between the current facility owners and entities recognizing the clock's historical and cultural significance.
