Be the invisible envy of the next gaming convention or assassination expo with Tycho Brahe's invaluable time piece. It's a piece of gaming memorabilia worth killing for!
— Official Description


The Enthusiast's Timepiece is a currently unreleased promotional PDA weapon for the Spy. It appears as a dusty golden watch, its face slightly marred by a blood stain.

This weapon is identical to the Invisibility Watch in terms of gameplay statistics. It is awarded to players of Poker Night at the Inventory during a bonus round.

The Cloak generated by the Enthusiast's Timepiece has a limited duration, indicated by a bar on the HUD as well as a glowing meter on the watch face itself. The Cloak meter will automatically recharge when not in use. Resupply areas, Dispensers, and ammo can also replenish the Cloak meter, even when cloaked. A large ammo box will fully recharge the Cloak, medium boxes will restore 50% and small boxes 25%, and a hit with L'Etranger 15%.

Function times

  • Cloak fade time: 1.0s (1.2s to other players)
  • Decloak fade time: 2.2s (1.8s to other players)
  • Cloak duration: 9.0s (Fully cloaked)
  • Cloak recharge time: 33.5s
  • Cloak recharge time to duration ratio: 3.72
  • This watch has an increased blink time of .5 seconds when the Saharan Spy item set bonus is active
  • The decloak sound is decreased when the Saharan Spy items set bonus is active.

Trivia
