Description

Point carries information about time instant, but offers no way to access it (which is sometimes needed).
Otherwise, we need to wrap Points with time information, thus, duplicating it.

Proposed method signature:

public Instant utcTime() {
    // return based upon time value and precision
}

Research direction

Start at the Point class and inspect how it stores its time value and precision. Add the proposed utcTime() accessor so callers can obtain the represented Instant without wrapping the Point. Done means the accessor reflects the stored time and precision; add or update coverage if the repository has Point tests.
