Seiko is known the world over as a watchmaker but has veritable expertise in all things time-telling. Seiko’s clock catalog is wide ranging and includes both analog and digital variations of all sorts of styles. The QHE190 references are clever three-in-one solutions that are ideal in the kitchen or office space.
The QHE190KLH is a black kitchen timer, and its counterpart, the QHE190SLH is in silver. Both clocks are 1.5” by 4.65” by 2.6” and can stand up or lay flat, depending on the application. They feature large dials up top for traditional analog time-keeping. Below is a digital display for tracking elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds. The two rows of buttons at the bottom allow users to set quick timers for one hour, 10 minutes, one minute, or 10 seconds.
Inside the QHE190-series kitchen timers are quartz movements that feature smooth sweeping second hands. The alarm function can be snoozed and even features a light. From a pure utilitarian standpoint, there is no beating this Seiko timer.
