Using java.sql.Time: Offset by 1 hour?

Question

I have a problem understanding the behaviour of the java.sql.Time class. As the following example shows.
61952000 ms is the Time 17:12:32. If i feed a Time-Object with it and print the time or date I'll get "18:12:32",
an offset of 1h. But if I use time.getTime(), I get my ms value which equals 17:12:32.
As my timezone shows, I have a GMT offset of one hour. But why does the getTime() method not calculate
the timezone offset to the ms?
Time time = new Time(61952000);
        System.out.println(time.getTime() / 3600 / 1000); // 17 hours
        System.out.println( new Date(time.getTime()) ); // Thu Jan 01 18:12:32 CET 1970
        System.out.println(time.getTime()); // 61952000
        System.out.println(time); // 18:12:32
        System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeZone());
         *  sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Europe/Berlin",offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,
         *  useDaylight=true,transitions=143,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Berlin,
         *  offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,
         *  startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,
         *  endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2]]

Thanks for your reply. But please take a look at the following code snippet. It intends to add a Timestamp representing the
start of a day (time component 00:00:00) to a time component (having Date to 01-01-1970):
        Time time = new Time(61952000);
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out.println("time: " + time); // 18:12:32
        c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
        c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
        System.out.println("date: " + c.getTime()); // Fri Apr 03 00:00:00 CEST 2009
        Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp( c.getTimeInMillis() + time.getTime() );
        Date d = new Date(timestamp.getTime() );
        System.out.println("\nresult: " + d); // result: Fri Apr 03 17:12:32 CEST 2009If I assume that getting and setting the milis always deals with timezone independent values, but operating methods
like toString(), getHour() etc use the timezone, then I can not explain the result (last line): 17:12:32 is the timezone
independend value. Should'nt d.toString() show the timezone dependend value of 18:12:32?
