Hublot All Black by zai.
zai is a dream of the perfect ski that has come true. A dream of the ski that makes no compromise, neither in material nor manufacture. Every zai is a one-off, hand-crafted in Switzerland. zai ventures off the beaten track: this is the world's first company to build skis with a stone core. In line with its corporate philosophy, zai works with unusual combinations of natural and newly synthesized materials to probe new dimensions.
zai began at the beginning, exploring the perfect combination of mountain and snow, skier and skis.Hublot explores the fusion of mineral and plant matter.
Hublot combines gold, mined from the bowels of the earth, and rubber, tapped from a tropical tree. The brand's DNA has now evolved to include new materials such as Kevlar®, carbon, even ceramics. Fusion is also at work in the precision engineering of the watches, where Swiss watchmaking tradition embraces the technological advances of the twenty-first century.
In 2006, Hublot launched its first All Black model, which set a benchmark in the world of watchmaking. Resplendent in black, the watch is the embodiment of the Hublot identity: strong and distinctive.
The Art of Fusion.
The All Black marks the transposition of the Hublot brand DNA to the sport of skiing. The creation of this ski perfectly encapsulates the Art of Fusion, the Hublot motto. The core is a fusion of Carbon Fibre and stone. With this and its other components – cedarwood, steel, carbon and rubber – the ski is highly reminiscent of the famous Big Bang collection. The selected materials also typify the idea of vertical fusion: from the rock of the inner earth to the tallest treetops. Rubber, symbolic of Hublot, makes its debut in this technique of ski manufacture.
The choice of colour was no accident: black is THE Hublot colour. The brand owes its reputation and fame to the success of its All Black watches since 2006. All these limited editions have inspired this zai/Hublot ski line, which is also limited to 111 pairs. Hublot has passed on the All Black look to its skis, which bear the Hublot logo at the tip, stamped black on black. This discretion is no barrier to a discerning eye, which will immediately spot the unmistakeable mark of Hublot.
The Hublot All Black is sold by set, including skis, bindings, extra light poles, exclusive ski bag.
