nixon x gumball watch

Nixon keeps a decidedly different profile from the usual array of high-end luxury wristwatches we cover, appealing less to the stock broker than to his skater son. But this year the brand has teamed up with the organizers of one of the most hyped-up cross-country rally of exotic automobiles to present a series of special editions under the Nixon x Gumball banner.

The Rubber Player watch pictured above comes in matte black silicon with gold accents on the caseback, crown and dial, and sells for a modest $200. It's joined by a more exclusive version of the company's 51-30 wristwatch which will only be provided to rally participants, as well as special edition "e Whip" and "e Wire" headphones made especially for the event at $60 and $75, respectively. They're available at Nixon retailers along the rally's route through London, Amsterdam, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and New York, among others. This year's Gumball 3000 kicks off in London on May 1.

It's Gumball 3000 time again. The rally for the rich and speedy, which dashes through Europe started on April 30 with 240 drivers in 120 cars. This year you can track the race online through the CoPilot satellite navigation service which lets you see where the drivers are and who is driving what. It's just part of the Gumball 3000 live website which includes video clips and pictures (the checkpoint in Vienna is shown here). The eight-day rally started in  London and will wind up in Los Angeles on May 7. Trouble has already hit some of the Gumballers, some cars were impounded by German police.
