A decent starting point. However two bits of feedback:

1. Your abstraction layer is unneeded: use TimeProvider for this purpose. And overloads through the libraries are in place.

2. For anything more that trivial time zone handling, don't use the inbuilt types and make use of NodaTime. Where trivial is nothing more than DST for your system TZ and UTC.
