"...before one o'clock in the morning." That use of "by" connected with a stated time as a limiting factor is very common in everyday English. For instance: "It is expected that the harvest will be finished by the end of September".

It means that when it is one o'clock you will be there. That could be "any time before" .. but not afterwards ! By the way .. well done for using the apostrophe properly !!
