Previous Changes

  • Like the Frying Pan, the Enthusiast's Timepiece was mistakenly added to the drop and crafting system. An Enthusiast's Timepiece acquired through this method has been marked untradeable.

Trivia

  • When Tycho first shows the watch to Gabe, the co-star of the Penny Arcade webcomic, Gabe kills Tycho to obtain it. The watch has since changed hands repeatedly, through the characters murdering each other. [1][2]
  • The Cloak meter emulates the Pac-man derived logo commonly seen worn on Tycho's friend Gabe's shirt[3] as well as a tattoo on his arm.[4]
  • In the Poker Night Launch Trailer, the watch is covered in blood, however there is no blood on it in-game.
