The highly anticipated first collection of Vannen Watches is here! The inaugural Series 1 invites you to experience a new world where art meets fashion. Christopher Bettig's "Winter Exclusive"  is an incredibly limited collector's edition, blind packed in a limited edition Snow Pack. You may even be lucky enough to receive a super rare "Silver Snowflake Chase" version of the "Winter Exclusive".

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.

Going beyond the realms of current art merchandising - Vannen watches not only tell time, they tell a story. A new movement in art is about to happen. That movement is Vannen.

Individually inspected, assembled and packaged by hand in the USA - every Vannen Watch is treated like a true piece of art.

Limited 90-Day Watch Warranty

We offer a limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days after original purchase from strawberryandcream.com. We will promptly repair or replace your watch at our discretion if it is immediately returned to us with a copy of the original sales receipt from our online store.

Our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, the life of the battery, gaskets, aging, peeling, alteration or discoloration of the watch casing, crystal or straps from normal useage.

This warranty also does not cover any damage on any part of the watch resulting from abnormal use, lack of care, negligence, tampering, accidents, and incorrect use of the watch.

Vannen watches are focused more towards fashion and style. We highly recommend you keep it out of water, extreme temperatures and avoid shocks if at all possible.

Vannen watches are water resistant up to 10 meters / 30 feet, but we strongly suggest you take it off before you shower or go swimming. If your watch gets exposed to salt water or sand, rinse it off immediately.

Water resistancy is achieved by using a rubber gasket, that in time will deteriorate under normal conditions and reduce the water resistancy of your watch.
