ABOUT BILL & THE SHOP
I’m Bill. I’m the founder, president, and creative director of Jewelry & Timepiece Mechanix as well as director of repair and restoration for Ye Olde Timekeepers. My entry into the Jewelry and Watch business was as a boy under the mentorship of my late father – Jack B. Green.
Dad was a speech and hearing specialist, who had spent much of his entrepreneurial life running various retail businesses. In the early 1970’s my family began traveling to the various reservations of the southwestern U.S. and trading with Native American craftspeople as a supplement to the income my parents received as educators during the 9 months of the school year. I had my first taste of bench work with silver, turquoise, various gems, and organic materials working with some of the most talented Native artisans of their time. Later I honed my craft as I studied at the Miami Jewelry Institute, GIA, and apprenticed under some other really terrific talents. For many years Dad and I ran a chain of stores in the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys called Jack of Diamonds Jewelers. Unfortunately Dad (Jack) passed away in 1987. The next several years were difficult. After a short break I decided to restart with a new venture…
In the early 1990’s I found a little vacant shop in Historic Haddonfield, NJ, named it Jewelry & Timepiece Mechanix and the rest is, well – History. Somewhere around 2000 the shop outgrew our old space and moved to a larger location on Kings Highway East. In May 2011, I moved once again, to an even larger location in King's Court, right in the heart of downtown Haddonfield (16 Ellis Street, to be exact). We carry a terrific selection of fine jewelry, fantastic watches, and cool gift-ware. If you’re looking for ordinary … don’t come to my shop. There are all kinds of interesting things to look at and buy. The back walls (known as the rock n roll lounge) may be decorated with the glorious mementos of my misspent youth – in the music biz… I have done and continue to do a fair amount of work for entertainers like: Stevie Nicks, John Jorgenson (Hellecasters, Elton John Band, John Jorgenson), Martha Flynn (SAG/AFTRA), the late Bill Cunningham (Phila. Sports legend), Cuba Gooding, Sr., Cheryl Elias (radio personality), Davey Johnstone (Elton John Band), Sheryl Crow, Erik Cartwright (Foghat, Allmans, Johnny Lang), The Philadelphia Flyers (and management of the Maine Mariners) Danny Briere and his lovely wife Misha and Ian "Lappy" Laperriere and Magali.
In late 2018, after years of doing independent work for Ye Olde Timekeepers I became their sole restoration and repair center. Ye Olde Timekeepers inc is a family owned firm which has focused on the acquisition of exotic watches & jewels since 1978 and has been one of the largest distribution supply companies in the world. They supply luxurious items exclusively to major auction houses, collectors, museums, and vintage salons. Ye Olde Timekeepers, Inc. has consigned some of the most important watches & jewels to hit the market in every vintage, market place, and genre of timepiece for over 40 years.
As a craftsperson, restorateur, and entrepreneur I have a great appreciation for the individual artisan and for the various crafts that they have perfected. For many years I have been seeking artists and artisans and assembling them into a team of incredibly skilled individuals who help me to repair the impossible and create the timeless. I am always on the search for rare and special talent and supplies of rare and obsolete parts and materials for them to utilize. As a team these people represent the very best of their individual specialties and with the relationships that created as a team we can take on difficult, if not impossible and multi-faceted restorations to restore ”impossible” jobs to once again delight the senses.
I’m so proud to honestly say that my shop is a rarity. In fact, Jewelry & Timepiece Mechanix is one of only a handful of shops in the world that actually designs and makes our own jewelry and watches. Local customers love to stop in and kibitz and we’ve got some pretty active phone lines for those who are farther away. When I, Tom Fried (our master watchmaker) or my staff aren’t busy selling, designing, making or fixing something we can usually be found sharing something breathtakingly interesting or telling jokes and sharing smiles with our clientele. Our clients may start out as customers but most of them become family. We design, repair and restore all types of new and vintage jewelry and watches. Everything from Costume to Cartier and from Timex to Rolex. When you come it's paramount that you can receive these three (3) things SERVICE-SERVICE-SERVICE.
If you have a need for our expertise, advice, or services, please, contact the shop.
It would be our extreme pleasure to make your dreams come true!

...I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to have found Jewelry and Timepiece Mechanix, and the team of Bill and Tom. Haddonfield isn't exactly around the corner from me, but it was well worth the trip

Bill is wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable about jewelry. He knows his stuff. He is very talented. He made me a new wedding band and was able to match it to my old wedding band and added diamonds to it...Love it there and will continue to go there whether it is to clean my jewelry, fix something or buy new things.

On recommendation of a friend we took my engagement ring and wedding band, which were my husband's great grandmother's, to be cleaned. We ended up resetting the diamond and getting an appraisal as well. Bill is very professional and knowledgeable, friendly and funny His work is excellent. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and highly recommend a visit to the shop, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars without a doubt.

I recently brought in my watch to have it serviced. Upon entering I was greeted warmly and helped promptly. Bill was a pleasure to do business with, and his staff was wonderful. He remained in great contact and handled our business quickly. I am over the moon with the service Bill and his staff provided. I will surely take my watches here in the future.

These guys are great. Very friendly. I took my new Omega watch in the day after Christmas (I was like a kid clamoring to use my Christmas gift) and they removed some of the screw links for a perfect fit and didn't berate me for trying to do it myself! Great work

Wonderful selection in every price range. Bill is very talented and created a ring for my daughter's 21st birthday that she absolutely loved. Has always done a great job servicing my watches, done right for a good price. I have shopped at Jewelry and Timepiece in all 3 locations over the years and am thrilled that he has expanded his store and his selection of pre made and custom designed jewelry. Thanks for staying with us during these tough economic times Bill, you really are an asset to the community.

I had a wonderful experience with J&TM, where I purchased an engagement ring. I made many changes throughout the process, but Bill and his staff were exceptional. Bill found exactly what I wanted and kept me updated every step of the way. His communication, flexibility, and transparency really puts your mind at ease that you came to the right place. Bill and the rest of the staff do everything they can to make it a positive experience for you. Thanks for everything J&TM, you've earned a customer for life!
