During development of the Convectionware line, we recognized a need for a timer with more function, one that would not only time multiple items but would tell the user which task was completed when an alarm went off.
We developed the functional components of the timer with our factory, and worked with an industrial designer to develop its look and feel.
We completed design and tooling in 2004 and launched the item in catalogs and on QVC in the first quarter of 2005.
