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.
