Maybe you could use the XML API to query the time stamp of the build in an external script?
For example, I can see the time stamps (in XML) of all the builds for the job named "MyJenkinsJob" job with this syntax: http://localhost:8080/job/MyJenkinsJob/api/xml?tree=builds[timestamp] You can learn more about the API by appending /api to most Jenkins URLs.
