Context
Dyson products show clarity: function first, style follows.
The watch category often splits into heavy decoration or pure minimalism.
HaloFlow seeks a third path. It looks technical, but stays readable, serviceable, and durable.
Engineered calm: matte metals, smoke-translucent surfaces, and Dyson-purple accents translate airflow logic into a precise, serviceable aesthetic.
