Geneva based luxury watchmaker Hublot has now teamed up with Swiss manufacturer Zai, based in the village Disentis in Graubünden canton Switzerland, for an exclusive ski called the “Hublot All Black.”
The Hublot All Black takes inspiration from two concepts that made the “Big Bang” collection a true success story - the black tone on tone and the merger of contents.

Only 111 numbers pairs have been put into production, and they will be available exclusively through Hublot and Zai outlets. Source Bornrich
