The Colgate Clock, located at the Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet. It was first illuminated in Clarksville on 11/17/1924. It is located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
Before the factory was bought by Colgate, it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847. In 1919 there was a fire and caused the need for much money to be spent in order to restore it to full operating capacity. The state of Indiana decided to relocate the prison and Colgate bought the building in 1923. Designed by Colgate engineer Warren day and constructed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company for the centennial for the Colgate Company in 1906, the clock served as the original Colgate Clock at Colgate-Palmolive facilities located in Jersey City, New Jersey.

We opted for the guided tour of the bell tower, which lasted about an hour. There was a detailed description of the ten bells and the different mechanisms for ringing them. We also visited the top of the bell tower, which gave panormic views of Bath.
