Answers so far helped me come up with mine. I'm wary of UTC vs local time; ticks should always be UTC IMO.

public class Time
{
    public static void Timestamps()
    {
        OutputTimestamp();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        OutputTimestamp();
    }

    private static void OutputTimestamp()
    {
        var timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
        var localTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
        var localTime = new DateTime(timestamp, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime();
        Console.Out.WriteLine("Timestamp = {0}.  Local ticks = {1}.  Local time = {2}.", timestamp, localTicks, localTime);
    }
}

Output:

Timestamp = 636988286338754530.  Local ticks = 636988034338754530.  Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:53 PM.
Timestamp = 636988286348878736.  Local ticks = 636988034348878736.  Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:54 PM.
