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 weapon for the Spy. 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. It appears as a dusty golden watch. The watch functions in exactly the same manner as the standard Invisibility Watch.

Function times

Identical to the Invisibility Watch.

In its current state the display on the watch measures how much Cloak time you have left inaccurately. See below video.

Previous Changes

November 19, 2010 Patch

  • The Enthusiast's Timepiece was added to the game and could be found via the item drop system and crafting for a short while.

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 Tycho's friend 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. The Spy doesn't like blood on his clothing, so he may have washed it off.
