The Enthusiast's Timepiece is a currently unreleased promotional PDA weapon for the Spy. It appears as a dusty golden watch with a blood stain across the front.
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.
Using the alternate fire button with any other weapon equipped, the player can Cloak, blending in perfectly with his surroundings and effectively becoming invisible, allowing them to infiltrate enemy territory and stalk targets without being seen. The Spy cannot attack whilst cloaked, but will still be able to use his Disguise Kit. Decloaking requires the Spy to wait approximately 2 seconds for the process to be complete.
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%.
