I am very pleased with my Chicago Lighthouse Contract wall clock. It is made of quality, well assembled plastic with no seen flaws; is lightweight and VERY big when hanging on the wall. It is made in the USA and this is sure nice to see these days!
After running it for a few hours, I noticed that the small hour hand did not line up on the hour exactly. For example at 8, the small hand would be between the 7 and 8. I carefully depressed the clips that are part of the clear face and that hold it in position (easy to do but be careful not to scratch!) and manually adjusted both hands to line up at 12 o'clock and then used the adjusting dial on the back of the quartz unit to advance to the correct time. It keeps accurate time and the hands are where they are supposed to be. It seems like every clock of this type I've ever encountered needs the same initial manual hand positioning so I can't really fault this unit and, like I... Read more

This is the synthetic lubricant that consistently outperforms all others currently available. It has incredible low and high-temperature characteristics, which is absolutely necessary for proper clock lubrication but completely lacking in petroleum-based oils. Don't use them on your clocks any longer! Actual oils and lubricant sprays leave sticky deposits when they evaporate over time. Real oil is made up of a mixture of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and under certain conditions the short-chain molecules evaporate, and the unstable molecules oxidize and break down. This leaves a sticky residue which can actually "gum up" the device it was intending to lubricate. Conventional oils also contain impurities such as sulfur, waxes, and unstable hydrocarbons which are left behind as residue deposits. In contrast, synthetic oils are made using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape, and weight, an ideal phenomenon which does not occur in nature. Synthetics are custom-designed to produce the ultimate lubricant, with inherent performance characteristics vastly superior to any petro-oil. Liquid Bearings is also essentially odorless, so your hands and clothes won't smell like oil after using it. It is perfectly safe to begin using Liquid Bearings on all your clocks immediately, even if you have been lubricating them with conventional oils for years or decades. It is fully compatible with all vintage and current oils, and will eventually flush away the residue of the evaporated real oil over time. You will easily notice that all of your hinges, stem, hands, slides, pendulums, bearings, rollers, and gears will move easier with Liquid Bearings, especially if you have been using petroleum-based oil on them for years. It is completely plastic-safe, and will not harm painted surfaces. The bottle is top-quality LDPE, and the stainless needle allows the application drop-by-drop.
100%-synthetic lubricant, perfect for all clock uses!
Immediately begins to displace old petro-oils or sprays.
Excellent corrosion prevention for any metal surfaces.
Essentially odor-free, a pleasure to use!
Plastic-safe for all plastics and painted surfaces!
