The hardware clock is set to a time.  Read the clock and you can see
what that time is.  Done.  

If you want to know how Linux is interpreting that time (as local or
UTC) look in /etc/sysconfig/clock.

The hardware clock itself does not have any concept of "timezone", it
just knows time, just one time, it doesn't know what timezone that
time is for.
