Although it doesn’t look it, this little guy is a kitchen timer. The Urban Creature line of timers feature four different styles. No matter if you choose Floral, Bones, Hex or Blossom, the distinctive style is sure to brighten up your kitchen décor. Hit the jump for a gallery of all four.

Housed in a cast-aluminum frame, this Triple Timer features classic styling and elegant grace. Looking like a set of controls that might have come from some sort of steampunk airship, the countdown starts from either 20, 60 or 120 minutes. With easy to read numbers and retro-molded knobs, the three separate timers are complete and ready to go. No need to attach any gears, levers or steam pipes.

Perhaps in a nod to its old-timey styling the timer also includes a “voluminous audible signal”, which is something I’m betting no wimpy battery-operated digital timer can match.

UPDATE: Sold out at the link above, but apparently available at Williams-Sonoma.
