Ulysse Nardin Freak X Gumball 3000 – Celebrating Adventure

Ulysse Nardin’s latest partnership with Gumball 3000 is a match made in rebel heaven, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the legendary supercar rally. Dubbed the Freak X Gumball 3000, this limited-edition timepiece is the perfect fusion of high-performance watchmaking and adrenaline-fueled motorsport, capturing the wild essence of both brands.

The Freak X is one of Ulysse Nardin’s most daring creations, and this special edition, limited to just 150 pieces, takes it up another notch. With its deconstructed movement and cutting-edge design, the Freak X Gumball 3000 is as much a work of art as a technical wonder. Forget traditional hands, dials, and crowns; this watch strips all that away, leaving an open movement where the mechanics are the centerpiece. It’s futuristic yet rugged, with a lightweight Carbonium case and pops of Gumball orange detailing, giving it that unmistakable edge that fans of the rally will love.

The collaboration between Ulysse Nardin and Gumball 3000 isn’t just about style—it’s about celebrating a shared love of adventure and rebellion. Gumball, after all, isn’t your typical rally. It’s a 3,000-mile journey that spans countries and cultures, bringing together an eclectic mix of supercars and personalities. This year’s route takes drivers from Saigon to Singapore, winding through the beauty of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand before concluding at the high-octane Singapore Grand Prix. Participants face thrilling challenges, unexpected twists, and plenty of high-speed adrenaline ​along the way.

Since its launch in 1999, Gumball 3000 has evolved into much more than a race—it’s a celebration of culture, art, and cutting-edge automotive engineering. Over the years, it has attracted a diverse range of participants, from rockstars to entrepreneurs, each with a shared passion for adventure. The Freak X Gumball 3000 embodies that spirit, bringing together avant-garde technology with Gumball’s signature rebellious streak.

Maximillion Cooper, the founder of Gumball 3000, summed up this collaboration well when he said, “Just like Gumball, the Freak X breaks the mold. It’s bold, unconventional, and engineered for those who aren’t afraid to push boundaries.” Each driver can personalize their watch with their team number, making it a one-of-a-kind tribute to their participation in the legendary 3,000-mile journey.

Once the rally drivers have their pick of these exclusive watches, any remaining pieces will be available to the public—but with only 150 units produced, they’re expected to go fast. Combining Ulysse Nardin’s craftsmanship and Gumball’s fearless attitude makes the Freak X Gumball 3000 a perfect tribute to 25 years of adrenaline-fueled, high-octane adventure.

This partnership isn’t just about looking back; it’s about embracing the adventurous spirit that fuels both Ulysse Nardin and Gumball 3000. The Freak X Gumball 3000 perfectly captures this daring attitude, offering a watch designed for those who are in it for the thrill of the ride, not just the finish line.
