WHY WE LOVE IT

Introduce a delightful touch of iconic postmodernism to your cooking routines with the Alessi Kitchen Timer (A09 B). Designed in 1992 by the legendary American architect Michael Graves, this sculptural accessory is a masterclass in blending pop culture energy with everyday utility. Shaped like a charming, architectural spinning top, it features an ultra-sleek, jet-black thermoplastic body that acts as a striking visual accent on any kitchen island. Far more satisfying than a digital smartphone screen, its tactile, clockwork countdown wheel tracks up to 60 minutes with a cheerful mechanical ring. It turns precise baking and cooking windows into a stylish, nostalgic ritual—perfect for an active, host-led villa kitchen in Mallorca.
