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 promotional PDA2 item for the Spy. It appears as a golden watch with an image of Template:W eating a dot on it.

This weapon functions in exactly the same manner as the standard Invisibility Watch. It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating Tycho during a round in which he has bought in with the item instead of cash.

Function times

Identical to the Invisibility Watch.

  • 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: 30.0s
  • Cloak recharge time to duration ratio: 3.33
  • This watch has an increased blink time of .5 seconds when the Saharan Spy set bonus is active
  • The decloak sound is reduced when the Saharan Spy set bonus is active.

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Previous Changes

November 19, 2010 Patch

  • The Enthusiast's Timepiece was added to the game.

Item-drop & Crafting servers updated (Nov 19, 2010)

Bugs

  • The Cloak meter displayed on the watch does not properly correspond to the actual amount of Cloak available. [1]

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]
  • When Tycho wagers this in Poker Night at the Inventory you can see that the watch is stained with blood. However, once you eliminate him from play and obtain the watch in Team Fortress 2, the stain is no longer visible.
