Built on innovation and experience
If you’ve noticed a magnificent timepiece gracing a city square, courthouse, university campus, golf course, or public space, chances are it’s from The Verdin Company™. Creating fine timepieces has been the hallmark of Verdin’s clock business since the company’s founding in 1842. Since then, Verdin™ has specialized in clock restoration, service, manufacture, and repair.
INNOVATOR OF CLOCKS SINCE 1842
In 1910, Verdin invented a mechanical winder that revolutionized—and simplified—the winding of clocks. Over the decades Verdin has become known as the builders of the finest tower clocks and post clocks in the world.
“OUR CLOCK ADDED IMMEDIATE CHARM TO OUR COMMUNITY AND STREETSCAPE PROJECT.”

POST CLOCKS
Two-Face & Four-Face
Our post clocks have been recognized for their craftsmanship, longevity, and elegance. Manufactured at our factory in Cincinnati, Ohio, Verdin post clocks are focal points and gathering places on some of the finest streets and golf courses in America, and the only street clock awarded a U.L. Listing as a timepiece (UL#863).
TOWER CLOCKS
Community focal points
Creating fine timepieces for courthouses, town squares, churches, shopping centers, public parks, and universities has been the hallmark of Verdin’s clock business since the company’s founding in 1842.
“I KNEW IF WE WANTED OUR CLOCK TO LAST, IT HAD TO BE A VERDIN.”

Standard designs or create your own
Verdin designs and manufacturers individualized clocks, post clocks, tower clocks, and wall mounted clocks, which can be custom designed to reflect the unique architecture of your site and specifications. All street clock and tower clock components are UL-approved and ETL-approved, respectively. In addition, our street clocks are engineered to withstand 90-mph wind loads.
A wide variety of styles, numerals, dials, and hands are available. Clocks can be manufactured in a number of materials: cast iron, aluminum, bronze, stainless steel or fiberglass. Options include remote control movements, which re-set the clock ten times normal speed, or the latest technology utilizing a GPS movement which automatically re-sets the clock for bi-yearly time changes and power failures. Additional options are available, including Westminster chimes, carillon chimes, and hour strike.
Restoring historical and timeworn clocks
As a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Verdin helps repair and preserve treasured community clocks, including courthouse clocks and street clocks.
If your tower clock or street clock is looking tarnished and worn, Verdin can restore it to its original perfection.
