I want to represent time snapshot independently of format and time

"seconds" looks like the way to go but I thought that it would get
thrown off depending upon which time zone the computer was in.
I just saw this in the Rev dictionary:
Note: The convert command assumes all dates / times are in local
time except for 'the seconds', which is taken to be universal time.
Does this mean that if I "get the seconds" simultaneously anywhere
in the world it will result in the same number or would I have to
account for the time zone offset. This definition makes it sound
like it already takes into account the time zone offset.
