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.
Brian Morris lives on the southern side of Chicago, married, eats a lot
of rd. meat, prefers pinot noir, favorite color is black, draws because
he likes to, second favorite color is black, born in '76, works in
advertising, '62 Cadillac in the garage, dead kitty's name tattooed on
his wrist, doesn't believe in God, believes in people, heavy metal
poser, country music, Sharpies, Faber-Castells, doesn't correct his
drawings, tattoos, deep in love, early to rise, saver not a spender,
knows you can't take it with you, raised in a small town, college
degree, practice makes perfect, loves toys, collector of HotWheels,
enjoys the darker side, steak, potatoes, breakfast with his wife at the
Ramova Grill, not a big fan of TV, would go to bed at 9PM if he could,
smokes too many cigarettes, doesn't smoke enough cigarettes, loves
black cherry Kool-Aid, boobies, and he won't design you a tattoo.
"Brian Morris: Themes of life and death play a big role in the works
that I create. This watch was an excellent opportunity to share my
belief that "time waits for no man." I hope that each time the wearer
checks the time they are reminded to make the most of every moment.
Time will pass you by if you let it, but the end will not. [Watch
design] has its challenges: The shape, materials and functionality were
all things I'd not worked with before. The art was created in the same
way I produce all of my drawings; it was the application that was real
fun part."
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.”
