Our Story

Four Generations.
One Passion.

Three decades of expertise, integrity, and a deep love for horology and precious metals — passed from a father to his four sons, from Hamburg to Hatton Garden.

The Founder

Zafar Iqbal —
A Visionary Craftsman

In 1995, Zafar Iqbal set up his first jewellery and precious metals business in Hamburg, Germany. With little more than a sharp eye, an instinct for quality, and an unwavering commitment to honesty, he built a reputation that stretched far beyond the city.

Zafar had a gift for seeing the true value in things — a rare quality in any trade, but extraordinary in the world of fine watches and precious metals. His clients trusted him implicitly. Fellow dealers respected him. And his four young sons watched his every move.

"He taught us that the most valuable thing in this business isn't the gold or the watches — it's the trust of the person sitting across from you."

— The Iqbal Family

From their earliest years, the boys were immersed in the trade. Conversations about movements, hallmarks, and market prices. A childhood education that no university could replicate. Zafar wasn't just building a business — he was building a dynasty.

Our Journey

Three Decades of Heritage

1995

Hamburg, Germany

Zafar Iqbal founds his first precious metals and jewellery business in Hamburg. Built on personal relationships, expert valuations, and a reputation for absolute fair dealing.

1995 – 2017

A Family Education

Over two decades, Zafar's four sons grow up learning to identify movements, assess condition, understand markets — and above all, earn a client's trust. An education earned at their father's side.

2017

Passing of Our Father

Zafar Iqbal passed away, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy — four sons who knew exactly what he had built and what it meant. They carried on, together, in his honour.

2017 – Present

London & Hatton Garden

The four brothers move operations to London — the world's greatest trading centre for jewellery and watches. They establish Haus Jewellers in the iconic Hatton Garden diamond district, trading internationally and building on every relationship their father created.

Today

Haus Jewellers

A destination trusted by collectors, investors, and individuals across the UK and beyond. Luxury watches, fine jewellery, precious metals, and investment bullion — authenticated, valued, and traded with the same integrity Zafar instilled in 1995.

What We Stand For

Built on Our Father's Principles

01

Authenticity

Every piece we sell or buy is rigorously examined. Our father never put his name to anything he wasn't proud of — and neither do we.

02

Transparency

No hidden fees. No inflated commissions. Zafar taught us that a deal only works when both sides leave satisfied. We tell you exactly what something is worth.

03

Expertise

Three decades of family knowledge across horology, fine jewellery, diamonds, and precious metals. This isn't something you can learn from a book.

04

Relationships

Our father's greatest asset was the trust of the people around him. Many of his clients are now our clients. We honour those relationships every day.

"He gave us more than a business. He gave us a way of living — with honesty, with purpose, and with pride in the work we do. Everything we build is built in his name."
