There is an option for this, called "Show Timezones", in the Options menu.

Does that do what you expect?

Olivier, where specifically is that setting? I don't see any menu called 'Options', and don't see a setting for showing time zones under Edit -> Preferences.

That menu is in the window that pops up when creating a new event.
