Best Made Co.

Weather Station

$172

Expand product description

Nobody said thermometers needed to be embedded with complex algorithms to be smart. Best Made Co.’s Weather Station is incredibly clever—and it’s completely analog. Two needles report on temperature and relative humidity—gauging the “feel” of the room rather than stats—and let you know when the weather is “just right.” Better yet, the station is housed in solid brass that will take on a life of its own over time. Now that’s smart.
