BACKTRACK
His passion for art and technique has not changed in his entire life. When he was 12 years old, he would already earn some money by restoring old motorcycles, especially BMW. He loved to work also with electronics, where he builds transistor radios, amplifiers, and transmitters. Simultaneously, he loves photography where he was able to develop pictures in his own laboratory. Later, fashion-photography became his profession. After he graduated in Ecol'e de Humanitee, he studied Agriculture at Biologische Dynamische Landwirt and continued to study Smith Mechanics with a degree. In 1990, he went to America to learn to fly, where he worked as a flight instructor, ferry pilot, commercial pilot, airline transport pilot, and helicopter pilot.

With his enthusiasm for technique and as an inventor (he registered various patents), he decided to start his own engineering company, Dornier Technologie, in 1996, which is still in business working with Airbus and other renowned companies. That was also the time that Iren made use of his talent as an airline pilot by creating South East Asian Airlines in the Philippines and started a resort, Club Noah Isabelle, in Palawan, Philippines with his partner Nick Gitsis. He has also created his first brand watch, Century of Aviation where his design "Do-X 1929" is already in the market.
