You can do that, but I wonder why you would want to. I assume you live
in an area where there are daylight saving time shifts, so it would be
weird that your clocks show an one-hour difference from all the others.

NTP has nothing to do with it, as it has been explained already. What
you need is set your time zone. This is the only thing that changes when
DST starts or ends is the GMT offset.

Someone mentioned there are timezones which are just GMT offsets. These
should work and should not change during the year, unlike time zones for
specific places.
