So, she started to read articles about clock repair. She then joined the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors and started to get to know other people in town that that fixed clocks. She started off working out of the basement of the house, then worked at Townsend Watch repair, and eventually opened Carpenter Clock Repair on Kingston Pike in 1978.
Mary's son, Mike Carpenter, started apprenticing with her at the age of 14. Together, they restored historical clocks in the Knoxville area such as the Mabry-Hazen House clock, the Ramsey House clocks, the Glenmore Mansion clock, the Fontana Dam visitors center clock, the Knox County Courthouse Tower clock, University of Tennessee Facility Club clock, Cherokee Country Club floor clock, and the Crescent Bend House clock.
Mike took over the shop in 1990 and expanded the business into sales and watch repair. He attended the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute in Ohio and became a certified clockmaker.
He still cares for historical clocks in Knoxville, including the Knox County Courthouse tower clock. Over the past 38years, Mike and his team have repaired over 18,000 clocks and watches.see more
