Barthman Clock: The Barthman Clock at the corner of Maiden Lane and Broadway was installed by William Barthman Jewelers sometime between 1923 and 1951, replacing an even older clock from the turn of the century. Although the store has since moved a few doors down the block, the clock remains in its original position. This week, Barthman Jewelers is offering discounts on some of its merchandise.
