DateTime.Now ticks are always UTC. When you use DateTime.Time to get a human-readable string representation of the Long ticks number, it will convert it to the device's local timezone. You can include the letter Z in the DateTime.TimeFormat to check the current timezone offset being used for that conversion.

A useful site for comparing your local DateTime.Now ticks value to UTC, and for doing conversion between local and UTC times (in both directions) is:
