Watch-face signs fixed at 8 18 after Lincoln’s death
A legend explains why jeweler signs show 8:18 as the hour. In 1895, a New York sign maker reportedly set a big wooden clock face to 8:18 when news of Abraham Lincoln's assassination reached him. The tale persists in local lore about Broadway jewelers and clock signs.
