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.

Special Item: Tycho Knock out Tycho after he's bought in with his special item. |
Update history
- The Enthusiast's Timepiece was added to the game.
- [Item schema update] The item could no longer be obtained via the item drop system or crafting.
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.
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.[2] [3]
- The Cloak meter emulates the Pac-Man derived logo commonly seen worn on Gabe's shirt[4] as well as a tattoo on his arm.[5]
- 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 does not have blood.
- If the Heavy wins the Enthusiast's Timepiece he announces to the table; "I will put this in my box of things I collect from dead enemies."
