Once I had gathered all Chronon Sources, on Upgrades it said that, 1 more Chronon Source(s) for next Upgrade Point, was required, even though this was not true. I had simply to initiate the process for purchasing the final Upgrade.

If I have missed one (which I have) will I have to play the whole campaign again? Missed one in act 2 as I died and forgot to "recollect" it. It should auto save every time you pick one up. Annoying.

A COMPLETE guide of all 200+ collectibles with timelinks can be found HERE.
The collectibles, including 60 chronon sources required for upgrading time powers, are found within Act 2 through to Act 5. They are found using the time vision ability near them to reveal and collect them.
Upon picking up the last chronon source, you will can buy the last upgrade and be rewarded with the achievement.
You can replay chapters using the timeline at any point, but keep in mind that changing your choices within the Junctions will add new collectibles for you to collect, bringing your percentage down. You can quit to the main menu once you collect them and reach a checkpoint save.
Lastly, use the menu to check "Collectibles" & "Upgrades" where it'll show your collectibles for each Act/Part so you can easily keep progress.
Alternatively, please see this video which is the beginning to the collectibles guide video playlist:

I would suggest starting off with the solution for the upgrades first, and then finishing with the link to the full collectibles. It is kind of irritating when people post guides for several achievements under one and then copy and paste it, which is what it seemed like you did until I read further, espcially because the video is just that.

Hi, after my natural Language is German and i bet more Germans are on this Site i will add my solution in german :)
And plz stop negative Voting just for Language, if the Guide doenst help plz leave a comment so I can fix it!
Nach so vielen englischen Guides möchte ich natürlich auch mit den deutschen nicht nachstehen.
Zum Upgraden benötigt Ihr alle Chrononquellen die über alle Akte verstreut sind, das Spiel hat insgesamt über 200 Sammelobjekte wo und wie Ihr die findet ?
Mit meinen Videos, in der Videobeschreibung sind auch die Zeitangaben zu jedem Sammelobjekt enthalten so dass Ihr direkt zum fehlenden Teil springen könnt
Die erste Chrononquelle findet Ihr in Akt 2
Ich hoffe ich konnte helfen

I didn't vote neg because of the language, I did it because you should be addressing the solution to this acheivement, and not simply spamming a single collectible guide for all achievements involved. sorry. not a good guide for this achievement.

I wrote down the Solution in German that you need all Chronon sources to get all your Timepowers upgraded and then i posted the Vids which include the Timeline for every Chronon source.
That wasnt just spamming the Vids :)

To fully upgrade all of your time powers you will need to get all 60 Chronon Sources in the game. Collecting Chronon Sources will grant you upgrade points. To get into the upgrades menu, press then to access the Diaries & Upgrades menu. You will have all of them by Act 5 Part 3 before you and your brother enter the pool.
