Radically analog.

Light the candle and let the sound of the pin dropping signify time passing. A perfect meditation companion.

The BEL uses fire, gravity, and sound to measure time. Left alone the BEL is a beautiful object for your home, but when the candle is lit, the wax will melt and, eventually, a pin will fall, releasing a soft bell sound to signify the passing of time. For meditation, you can fix your gaze on the flame or listen for the drop of a pin to signify the end of your session.

Why Alcove loves the BEL:

🌀This auditory marking of time by a manual function stands in sharp contrast to our digital the sound is divine.

🌀Reinvigorated our meditation practice - no more iPhone alarms.

🌀Created by beloved NYC yoga instructor and 3rd Ritual workshop leader Jenn Tardif.

🌀The candles smell amazing!
