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.
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.”

As a child Damon (photo below) became so engrossed with drawing that it became a
distraction; at age 16 he dropped out of school opting for the
immediacy of a GED. At 19 he moved to San Francisco and enrolled in the
Interdisciplinary Program at the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1996
Soule became the Art Director and Co-founder of FIT Skateboards and
Civilian Clothing. After art directing the brands for a number of
years, he sold his portion of the business to pursue art full-time.
Soule's art has been featured in group exhibitions in San Francisco at
111 Minna Gallery, Punch Gallery, Southern Exposure Gallery, Culture
Cache, New Langton Arts and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Recent
shows also include "New Works by Oliver Vernon and Damon Soule" at BLVD
Gallery and "Greeen Art Exhibition" at Robert Berman Gallery.
