The inaugural series invites you to experience a new world where art meets fashion. And at $65 per timepiece, anyone can afford to have art wrapped around his or her wrist. Created on the premise that this genre of wearable art would never get made otherwise, founder David Stowe and an amazing lineup of artists have come together to bring Vannen to life. The first collection features designs by Buff Monster, Brian Morris, Chris Ryniak and Damon Soule.
Individually inspected, assembled and packaged by hand in the USA, every watch is treated like a true piece of art. Each selected artist is given a plastic watch as a canvas to showcase their original artwork and connect with the world. Constructing wearable art that is both functional and accessible - but still exclusive - Vannen has given the public a fun new way to show their taste in art and fashion and support a new movement in artistic achievement. And all artists design their own custom packaging.
The heart of Vannen Watches is to expose extraordinary artwork to people that may never have the opportunity to discover it, much less incorporate it into their lives. Each collection of watches is produced with one goal in mind – to support the global art scene by bringing awareness to each artist and invite the world to experience something new. Vannen is not only collectible art; it transcends all ages, genders and nationalities.
Buff Monster (photo below) lives in Hollywood and cites heavy metal music, ice cream
and Japanese culture as major influences. The color pink, as a symbol
of confidence, individuality and happiness, is present in everything he
creates. Buff is known for putting up thousands of silkscreened posters
across Los Angeles and also in faraway places. When his original and
one-and-only wheat paste brush was no longer usable, seven years of
frequent poster missions came to an end. Having given up a very
productive street art career, he now works exclusively on fine art
paintings, collectible toys and select design projects. His works have
been exhibited in numerous galleries, usually accompanied by large
installations to enhance the paintings. Aside from his Happy Creamy
Vannen watch, he has many other projects in the works.
"It's a fun and happy design. I keep exploring all these
other crazy themes in my paintings, but this is a core Buff Monster
design. A watch is a really functional item, so you have to take that
into account when you're designing it. And the packaging is really
simple, but I really like the cardboard bubble pack that it comes in."
Based loosely around the Swedish word vännen (meaning
"friends") brings some of today's best lowbrow art to wrists. Longtime
watch fan and founder David Stowe wanted to fill the void in a medium
that doesn’t always pair fashion with function, while incorporating his
idea that working with friends helps people discover artists thus
creating new friends.
Stowe also hopes that Vannen Watches will transform the insular
nature of collectors. “If someone buys an art toy, book or print, it
sits on their shelf collecting dust only to be seen by people who come
to their houses. With our watches, you can show the entire world your
taste in art and fashion.”
