'''{{PAGENAME}}s''',{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3b}} also called '''chronos''', are timepiece devices used by the [[Imperium]] that are hand-held or worn on the wrist and are generally dependable and simple to use.{{Fn|1}}

==Overview==
Any Imperial citizen might find a use for these devices, regardless as to whether they're a middling [[underhive]]r{{Fn|3a}} or a [[Custodian]] of the [[Emperor]].{{Fn|2}} While a citizen of any means might carry a dependable hand-held or wrist-worn timepiece, those with fancier versions might be able to link into planetary datastreams for greater precision.{{Fn|4}}

Although chrons are fairly mundane devices, they're enough of a luxury to be used as collateral for a loan, in some cases.{{Fn|3a}} Some Imperials might subtly flaunt their wealth with a finely crafted timepiece attached to a waistcoat via a golden chain. Intermittently checking their chron to casually flash such a luxury to those around.{{Fn|3b}}

Imperials might use the phrase "round-the-chron" when doing an activity at seemingly all hours of the day or non-stop.{{Fn|3c}}
