excellent idea! Will it be obvious to bidders as we approach 2am whether there has been a bid between 1 and 2am on a lot? Will the clock literally count down to zero from 1:45 to 2am for specific lots that haven't had bids between 1 and 2? And will reset in 15 minute intervals for those that have? That would be good so that it's transparent to those that are still awake.
I do like that you will send out a fair warning and will manually stop the auction at a certain point. This gives bidders the opportunity to provide their "best and final" as the auction nears its end.
Hopefully this method works for your next auction and isn't too confusing to bidders. You may have some unhappy people who don't read the rules and think that they can continue bidding after 2am when the clock has ended for the specific lot in question.
