Centimeters aren't metric. On a construction site if you use CM and not millimeters they use machinery to give you a wedgie.
I think you're confusing metric units with SI base units. Those are typcially the ones without any prefix (so a metre, not centimetre or milimetre). But all the prefixed versions are still metric.
Meanwhile second is the SI base unit of time, but it's not metric.
With the notable exception of the kg...for some inexplicable reason.
