A time zone two zones to the west would have a time of 2:15 PM. Locations to the east have later times and locations to the west have earlier times.

Time Zones

The standard time zones were set up to establish uniform regional times in the place of varying local times according to the Sun. Each time zone normally represents one hour's difference in time. They are centered in 15° increments from the Prime Meridian and have a width of 15° longitude. However, many political and commercial adjustments have been made to the actual time zone boundaries.
