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, also parsed as Enthusiast's Time Piece, is a promotional PDA weapon for the Spy. It is a golden watch with an image of Template:W eating a dot on it.

This weapon functions exactly the same way as the Invisibility Watch.

It is awarded to players of Poker Night at the Inventory for defeating Tycho during a round in which he has bought in with the item instead of cash.

Update history

November 19, 2010 Patch

Bugs

  • Like the Dead Ringer, with which it shares its Cloak meter animation, the Cloak meter displayed on the watch does not properly correspond to the actual amount of Cloak available. [1]
  • Enabling flipped viewmodels will cause the Cloak meter animation to appear blank.
  • Since the March 10, 2011 Patch, if you cloak as a demoman with a Chargin' Targe, it will play the sound of a demoman charging.

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 Gabe's shirt[3] as well as a tattoo on his arm.[4]
  • The version of the watch presented in Poker Night at the Inventory is stained with blood on the left of its face. However, the version obtained in Team Fortress 2 has no blood.
