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 released promotional PDA2 weapon for the Spy. It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating Tycho during a bonus round. It appears as a dusty golden watch, its face slightly marred by a blood stain.

Based on precedent set by the Lugermorph and the Big Kill, two previously released promotional weapons that replaced stock items, the Enthusiast's Timepiece is likely an alternate model for the Spy's Invisibility Watch.
