I believe Jenneke's Carré was originally covered with leather or reptile skin. The narrow groove on the edge of the cover without the opening button was used to secure the skin. Also, I have a leather covered one with case number B2669.

I also have a similar brushed nickel cased example with case number E1923. These are both Wadsworth cases with 315 movements.

I also have one enameled one at the moment that also has the 315 movement but it's in a larger Swiss case marked "Eclipso" which was some sort of joint venture with LIP. These cases do not have the Wadsworth style case numbers.
