Colgate Clock

Why go

The clock is an unusually visible trace of a former factory district now edged by offices and waterfront paths. From the public promenade, its bold face competes with the Manhattan skyline across the river. The pairing makes a short walk here more than a panorama: it shows how Jersey City’s industrial waterfront has changed while one oversized landmark remains.

What to look for

• The large octagonal waterfront clock marks Jersey City industrial history and a distinct riverside landmark.

Useful to know

• Check the official site for current access and opening details before setting out.
• Combine this stop with the nearby waterfront rather than assuming a direct walk to Ellis Island.
• View the clock from the public Hudson River Waterfront Walkway near the former Colgate site; do not route to the clock structure itself.
