The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Clock Now Lit Up

Last night at 8 pm, the iconic clock on top of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank lit up after undergoing extensive repairs. The clock, whose time is still set by hand, has all original parts, dating to the building’s construction in 1929. The president of the One Hanson Condo Board, Harvey Kreiswirth, said this in a press release: “Brooklyn has its wristwatch back! The residents and owners of One Hanson Place are proud to have fixed the clock, and are happy to provide this beacon for the whole city to enjoy.”
