Horolube Clock Oil is a superfine precision lubricant formulated specifically for clock mechanisms and horological movements.

Made from refined mineral oils, this specialist clock oil provides smooth, long-lasting lubrication for the small moving components within mechanical clocks. Its fine consistency allows it to penetrate areas such as pivots, bearings and gear trains while helping to reduce friction and wear.

Horolube Clock Oil is suitable for both antique and modern clocks and can be used for servicing, routine maintenance and clock restoration.

Uses for Horolube Clock Oil

Horolube is designed for lubricating the fine mechanical components found in clock movements, including:

  • Clock pivots
  • Bearings
  • Fine mechanical components
  • Gear trains
  • Mechanical clock movements
  • Antique clock movements
  • Modern clock movements

Regular and appropriate lubrication helps reduce friction between moving parts and can help maintain smooth operation and reduce unnecessary wear.

Clocks & Movements

Horolube Clock Oil can be used when servicing a wide variety of mechanical timepieces, including:

  • Longcase and grandfather clocks
  • Mantel clocks
  • Wall clocks
  • Other mechanical clocks

It is particularly suited to clock restoration and servicing where a specialist, fine lubricant is required for the movement.

Applying Clock Oil

Before oiling, the clock movement should be properly cleaned and inspected. Oil should be applied carefully and sparingly to the appropriate lubrication points rather than flooding the movement.

Use a suitable fine oiling tool to place a small amount of Horolube precisely where required. Avoid getting oil onto surfaces that should remain dry, as excess oil can attract dirt and interfere with the movement.

For clock restoration, we recommend cleaning the movement thoroughly before lubrication using an appropriate clock cleaning solution, followed by careful drying and inspection.

Clock Movement Maintenance

Correct lubrication is an important part of maintaining a mechanical clock. Clean, correctly lubricated pivots and bearings can help reduce friction and unnecessary wear, allowing the movement to operate smoothly.

Horolube Clock Oil is suitable for routine servicing, maintenance and restoration and can be used alongside the other specialist horological cleaning products available from Priory Polishes.
