DUQUESNE BREWERY CLOCK – PITTSBURGH, PA

 

Located on Duquesne Brewing Company building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Duquesne Brewery Clock has the largest clock face in the United States. When it was installed in 1933, it was the largest single-face clock in the world.

The 60-by-60-foot clock face, with a 35-foot minute hand and a 25-foot hour hand, both of laminated aluminum, is nearly twice the size of London’s Big Ben.

Originally located on a Mount Washington hillside, the clock’s face has been used as advertising for a succession of businesses. Most recently, AT&T took over the rights to advertise on the clock and redesigned the face to display the traditional blue and white AT&T logo.
