Abstract: The motion of spinning test particles along circular orbits in static vacuum spacetimes belonging to the Weyl class is discussed. Spin alignment and coupling with background parameters in the case of superimposed Weyl fields, corresponding to a single Schwarzschild black hole and a single Chazy–Curzon particle as well as to two Schwarzschild black holes and two Chazy–Curzon particles, are studied in detail for standard choices of supplementary conditions. Applications to the gravitomagnetic 'clock effect' are also discussed.
