I've viewed it from the Kentucky side of the Ohio river and it is an awesome site to see not only because of its size, but that it still functions! How many town's clock towers do not? [Sandra Nantais, 07/07/2008]
Clarksville, Indiana - Colgate Clock - 2nd Largest Timepiece in the World On a "big things" photography trip to Louisville, Kentucky, I snapped this photo of the clock on the Colgate Palmolive factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana. It's the second largest timepiece in the world (the largest is the Colgate clock on the factory in New Jersey) and is bigger than Big Ben. It measures over 40 feet in diameter and the hands on the clock are 16 and 20 1/2 feet long. It's lit by red neon at night and can be seen over a mile away. [Steph Mineart, 05/18/2005]
