You can use +(NSTimeZone) timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:. To convert hours to seconds, multiply by 3600.

Examples:

For GMT+2

[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:3600*2]

For GMT-2

[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:-3600*2]

To get the timezone local to your device:

[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]
