Meet The Founder
Tuan Haji Zainal Mohd Ali
Born in 1955 in Malacca, Tuan Haji Zainal received his early formal education in Segamat, Johor and Malacca. He attended a formal watch-making training at Stern Feres Fabrique de Cadrans in Geneva, Switzerland and started his career in watch-making industry soon after that.
Been a passionate watch maker for over 40 years, Tuan Haji Zainal had contributed to the design, manufacturing and quality compliances to numerous high-end famous watch brands such as RADO, Longines, Omega, Tissot, Hublot, Tag Hueur, Titoni, Certina, Raymond Weil, Oris, Dior, Frederic Constant, Corum, Meistersinger, Edox, Ebel, Swiss Army, Armani, Fossil, Fendi, Bvlgary, etc.
Early Training at Stern Frères
This 1970 photograph shows Tuan Haji Zainal at 24 during his training at Stern Frères in Geneva, Switzerland. Renowned for producing high-quality watch dials and components, Stern Frères provided the foundation for him to specialise in dial manufacturing, gaining expert knowledge and invaluable experience that shaped his journey in the horology industry.
Master and Apprentice
This photo, taken around 2012–2013, shows Tuan Haji Zainal with his apprentice, Jörg Bader, son of the owner of Christopher Ward. During this time in Taiwan, they specialised in dial manufacturing, combining mentorship with international expertise. Their collaboration exemplifies a shared commitment to precision, quality, and advancing the craft of horology.
Impact on Manufacturing in Taiwan
This 2009 photo captures Tuan Haji Zainal in Taiwan, where he managed timepiece assembly and manufacturing. Leading 2,000 employees, he cut the rejection rate by 95% and doubled production from 150,000 to 300,000 units per month. Originally hired as a consultant in 2003, his expertise extended his tenure until 2016, solidifying his impact on the company.
Showcasing Watchmaking Mastery
This picture, taken in 2021, shows Tuan Haji Zainal modifying, cleaning, and assembling a watch movement. He demonstrated the intricate processes to the media, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship involved. During this time, he also shared his expertise with his son, ensuring that the knowledge and appreciation of the craft would be passed down to the next generation.
Our Craftmanship Philosophy
At Fateh Horology, we believe that true luxury lies in the art of precision and the essence of exclusivity. Each of our timepieces is a testament to the dedication and meticulous craftsmanship that goes into creating something truly exceptional.
The Art of Limited Craftsmanship
We believe that true luxury is not mass-produced. This philosophy drives us to create limited editions, where each piece is meticulously crafted to perfection. Our watches are not just accessories; they are works of art, designed to be cherished for a lifetime. The Strata Edition 01, our latest release, embodies this ethos. Its unique blend of Swiss engineering and Malay artistry stands as a symbol of our dedication to producing only the finest.
Why Our Stock Ran Out
Our watches are created in limited quantities, not to create scarcity, but to ensure that each one meets our rigorous standards. The overwhelming response to our previous collections reflects the trust and admiration our customers have for the quality of our craftsmanship. While we understand the disappointment of missing out, this only fuels our commitment to maintaining the exclusivity and integrity of our brand.
Why We Don't Mass Produce
Our decision not to mass-produce is rooted in our belief that luxury should remain rare and meaningful. Mass production would dilute the essence of what makes Fateh Watches special. Instead, we choose to craft watches that are not just purchased but acquired—pieces that become a part of your journey, shared across generations.
