What do they mean when they say that Crasnovorsky Thumpolux transistor
radio, now available at 'only' 180 euros with real wood veneer, has
excellent 'timing'

Means nothing. But it's just the sort of unverifiable, untestable
nonsense that some audio writers indulge in.

I'm in the US and we have the same sort of nonsense in the high-end
audio press here also. I've also seen it in the UK audio press. I've
also seen reviews of audio components where their "rhythm" is
discussed. In my world, any "rhythm" or "timing" is in the recorded
music I'm listening to, not in the audio components.

My advice: Ignore nonsense like this.
