Mette Magrete Tvistman (1741, Frørup – 9 February 1827, Snejbjerg) was a Danish artist (clockmaker). She is known in Danish history as the first female clockmaker in her country. Mette Magrete Tvistman was the daughter of the blacksmith and clockmaker Christen Jensen (1703–1781) and Maren Nielsdatter (1700–1791). She married the clockmaker Johan Ahlert Tvistman (1721–1769) in 1760, and had two children. In 1771, she married the farmer Christen Jensen, and had a daughter, but quickly divorced him. She was engaged to a son of the influential cleric Ude Haahr of Holstebro in 1788, but broke the engagement, which was regarded a scandal.

  • Mette Magrete Tvistman (1741, Frørup – 9 February 1827, Snejbjerg) was a Danish artist (clockmaker). She is known in Danish history as the first female clockmaker in her country. Mette Magrete Tvistman was the daughter of the blacksmith and clockmaker Christen Jensen (1703–1781) and Maren Nielsdatter (1700–1791). She married the clockmaker Johan Ahlert Tvistman (1721–1769) in 1760, and had two children. In 1771, she married the farmer Christen Jensen, and had a daughter, but quickly divorced him. She was engaged to a son of the influential cleric Ude Haahr of Holstebro in 1788, but broke the engagement, which was regarded a scandal. After the death of her first spouse, she became active as a clockmaker with a workshop in the farm she inherited from her spouse. In 1783, she left her workshop to her son. From 1783 to 1787, she was active as a clockmaker with her own workshop in Vejle, in 1787–98 in Ølgod, and in 1798–1818 in Holstebro.During her stay at Holstebro, however, she seem to have been active more as the manager of the community poorhouse, which was housed at her farm, though she was officially listed as a clockmaker. In 1818, she retired to the home of her daughter. She died in poverty. Tvistman is referred to as the first female clockmaker in Denmark. Her most productive period was that in Ølgod, when she owned one of the largest estates in the city, which she had made her workshop. At least 35 of her constructed clocks are preserved, notably a grandmother clock. (en)

Hon var förlovad med en son till den inflytelserike prosten Ude Haahr i Holstebro 1788, men bröt förlovningen, vilket ansågs vara en skandal. Efter sin första makes död blev hon verksam som urmakare med verkstad på gården hon ärvde efter sin make. 1783 överlät hon sin verkstad till sin son. 1783–1787 var hon verksam som urmakare med egen verkstad i Vejle, 1787–1798 i Ølgod och 1798–1818 i Holstebro. Under vistelsen i Holstebro tycks hon dock ha varit verksam mer som föreståndare för det kommunala fattighuset, som var inrymt på hennes gård, även om hon officiellt var skriven som urmakare. 1818 drog hon sig tillbaka till sin dotters hem. Hon dog i fattigdom. Tvistman omtalas som den första kvinnliga urmakaren i Danmark. Hennes mest produktiva period var den i Ølgod, då hon ägde en av stadens största egendomar, där hon hade sin verkstad. (sv)
