There is no need for a new as timer is not a pointer but an instance of Timer: it is in the static data section, not the heap. Its constructor is called (otherwise my ISR would never get called)

That will bloat the code with the malloc library and consume a bit of the precious RAM for no good reason. The only thing needed here is to get the init code called after the static object constructors. You don't need another instance to do that, just move the object creation inside setup() or put the init code in a separate method that you will call inside setup().
