You can add the date and time to get a timestamp and then use AT TIME ZONE
with the second argument being the integer times an interval of 1 hour.
Sort of like the following:
bruno=> select ('2004-9-24'::date + '10:27:12'::time) at time zone (-2 * '1 hour'::interval);
timezone
------------------------
2004-09-24 07:27:12-05
