Not usually a good move to assume anything.   You have to understand how 
the computer you're running on does (or does not) achieve accurate time.

On a Raspberry Pi I'd suggest doing both A+B on the link Tom provided.   If 
you install+enable+start ntpd, then the systemd time daemon stuff gets 
superseded with something that actually works.   Disabling the fake-hwclock 
thing better ensures that the system doesn't try to save a (possibly bogus) 
time and reinitialize to that on the subsequent power-up.

If your pi never takes a power down/up, the software solution usually works 
ok, but a RTC would belt+suspenders things even more.
