Timekeepers is a dream for people looking to clear out their old records, gold, silver, jewelry or other keepsakes that tend to clutter the house. Timekeepers trades and sells these good, specializing in watches, clocks, jewelry and music boxes. Sellers can take cash on the spot or offer their goods through Timekeepers on consignment. The inside of the retail store looks a little like a museum, with pieces displayed in cases that line the perimeter of the space. Manager Alina Ilyashov owns the plaza where the store is located. Timekeepers has been a fixture at this location since 2000, when it moved from University City after opening there in 1981. Timekeepers also has a location in Clayton.
