There is some type of communication going on between time-admin and the XFCE panel. I verified that the timezone was in fact changed when I restarted time-admin. Afterwards I enabled synchronization with NTP time servers, shortly after installing NTP and selecting the time servers, the time in the xfce4-panel changed to the corresponding time that the time server provided.
