Starting items:

Tango icon.png Tango gives Clockwerk enough basic lane survivability through health regeneration. Depending on how much harass is expected in the offlane, more than one Tango may be advised.
Healing Salve icon.png Healing Salve also restores health to Clockwerk.
Iron Branch icon.png Iron Branch gives Clockwerk cheap attributes, increasing health, armor, attack speed, and mana.
Early game:

Boots of Speed icon.png Boots of Speed early on give Clockwerk enough movement speed to evade ganks by the enemy supports. They also allow him to chase with Battery Assault and get early kills against squishy supports if he can single them out.
Urn of Shadows icon.png Urn of Shadows is a very useful utility item on a roaming Clockwerk in place of a Bracer. The strength gives him more HP and base damage, while the mana regen helps with his casting. The active can be used to deal more damage to an enemy during a gank, or heal yourself or allies afterward.
Mid game:

Magic Wand icon.png Magic Wand gives Clockwerk some stats, and allows him to replenish some HP and mana instantly. The former is useful for giving him more HP after casting Hookshot to initiate on the enemy, extending his survivability, while the latter can give him enough mana to cast any of his spells in an emergency.
Phase Boots icon.png Phase Boots give Clockwerk more mobility, allowing him to get in position to cast his spells or chase an enemy more easily with Battery Assault.
Arcane Boots icon.png Arcane Boots can be useful to purchase on a utility Clockwerk who is dependent on casting spells and using item abilities. Clockwerk's main weakness is his small mana pool, so alleviating that allows him to cast his spells more often.
Blade Mail icon.png Blade Mail is arguably Clockwerk's most important item. The armor gives him more survivability against physical damage when initiating with Hookshot, the intelligence gives him a bigger mana pool to cast spells, and the damage gives him more damage output. The active allows him to use his HP pool offensively by punishing the enemy for focusing him, and can buy him survivability if the enemy avoids targeting him while the item is active.
Force Staff icon.png Force Staff gives Clockwerk an extra tool for more mobility on top of the highly beneficial intelligence, allowing him to quickly close the gap to cast Power Cogs or Battery Assault, or escape from unpleasant situations. Its most powerful use is to allow Clockwerk to escape from inside his own Power Cogs without having to destroy them, allowing him to trap dangerous melee enemies inside that could otherwise tear him apart with attacks.
Late game:

Aghanim's Scepter icon.png Aghanim's Scepter significantly reduces Hookshot's cooldown, and gives him stats across the board. The reduced cooldown allows Clockwerk to use his ultimate tactically, as he can cast it multiple times in a single teamfight.
Shiva's Guard icon.png Shiva's Guard increases the size of Clockwerk's mana pool, allowing him to cast spells more often, and greatly increases his survivability against physical damage. The active can be cast prior to using Hookshot, instantly applying the nuke damage and slow to the entire enemy team upon reaching your destination. the attack speed slow combined with battery assault makes it more difficult for high attack speed heroes to take out cogs and escape

Situational items:

Observer Ward icon.png Observer Ward can be bought when necessary, as Clockwerk is not extremely reliant on items.
Dust of Appearance icon.png Dust of Appearance is ideal for ganking invisible enemies, as Clockwerk's close promixity after initiation guarantees the debuff will be applied without guesswork. Remember that Battery Assault cannot hit invisible enemies.
Bottle (Full) icon.png Bottle is important on Clockwerk given his mobility, ability to roam around and gank targets, and small mana pool. As he can pick up runes while roaming, the regen lets him stay out on the field without having to return to base as often, allowing him to accomplish more for his team.
Drum of Endurance icon.png Drum of Endurance gives Clockwerk stats across the board, generally increasing his survivability as well as ability to cast spells. The movement speed also makes him more mobile, allowing him to position for spells or chase more easily.
Blink Dagger icon.png Blink Dagger drastically increases Clockwerk's mobility and gives him yet more initiating power. Clockwerk can blink on top of enemies to initiate rather than using Hookshot, or use the blink to quickly re-position himself for a clear line of fire for Hookshot.
