We show that the whole of the gravitomagnetic clock effect in the orbit of a
spinning test particle which is revolving round a spinning central massive
astrophysical body can be calculated using a gravitational spin-orbit coupling
potential which involves the two spins and the orbital angular momentum of the
test particle.
