Our History

Our family has been involved in clocks and watches in the Bergen County, NJ area for four generations. Andreas, Russell’s grandfather, ran and operated Andrews Jewelers in Leonia, NJ after immigrating from Denmark to America. He passed on the store to his son, John Andrews, who relocated Andrews Jewelers to Westwood, NJ. Andrews Jewelers remained in Westwood for twenty six years. Upon his passing, Andrews Jewelers was taken over by Russell Andrews who switched the focus back to timepieces. In 2001, Russell opened up Andrews Clocks & watches in Hillsdale, NJ. In 2016, Russell’s daughter, Caitlyn, joined him after the birth of her daughter, Anna, who will be the fifth generation in watch and clock repair. Today Russell and his daughter, Caitlyn, run the store five days a week- providing Sales, Service and Restoration work on all timepieces for the tri-state area.

OUR BELIEFS

Having a lifetime of experience exposed to all makes of timepieces available, we simply chose to provide brands that are built with the mindset of lasting quality.  Companies that still believe in providing a level of workmanship rarely seen today.  Timepieces that as time moves on can be serviced and not simply disposed of as most things are made today.  Take time to read about the history of each company we represent.    Truly what we provide are pieces that can be true gifts of time, things that can be handed down from one generation to the next.  Like the clocks we sell, we look forward to passing down our knowledge to the next generation. Within the next few years, we look forward to training the fifth generation of clockmakers/watchmakers, Pavel & Anna, who frequently come to “help” in the form of playing with old movement & spare parts. Most important we are here to provide help in deciding which timepiece is right for you along with an education in understanding what an incredible purchase you will be making. 

With regards to repairs and servicing your presently owned timepiece, we strive to provide  you with the quality workmanship and most reasonable prices we are well known for.
