Around 1250, the hexarchate had 25-hour days, 100-minute hours, and 100-second minutes.

If the hexarchate day is about the same length as an Earth day, this means that there are approximately 0.3456 Earth seconds for every hexarchate second. Thus, a quick way to approximate the conversion from Earth to hexarchate seconds is to multiply by three. Similarly, there are 0.576 Earth minutes for every hexarchate minute.
