Why Quality Clock Oil Matters

Mechanical clocks depend on extremely small pivot points and fine tolerances. Using the wrong oil can cause pivots to gum, attract dust, or evaporate too quickly.

​

• Long lasting lubrication
• Resistance to oxidation and gumming
• Controlled viscosity for delicate pivots
• Precise application using needle applicators

​

This type of oil is designed for the maintenance of antique clocks, grandfather clocks, wall clocks, mantel clocks, and other mechanical timepieces.

How Often Should a Clock Be Oiled ?

Most mechanical clocks should be cleaned and oiled every 3–5 years depending on the environment and usage.

Using the correct oil and applying it carefully to the pivot points helps prevent wear and keeps the movement running smoothly.
