All NTP servers should carry the same standard time (UTC, which is
almost the same as GMT).  I don't think Switzerland has its own
standard time (although that wouldn't be too surprising :-).

A good starting point for all questions about NTP is the Web page

	http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/

Among others it points to a page listing many public NTP servers with
different usage conditions.  At least two of those are in Switzerland
(at ETHZ, incidentally).

In general you should not use the servers from this list directly, but
ask your Internet Service Provider (in the largest sense; this may
mean your department/school/company's network guru) whether there is a
closer server.  If you use routers with modern software that supports
NTP, then it is almost always best to use these routers as broadcast
or multicast NTP servers: this necessitates very little configuration
and provides excellent time.
