I'm not commenting on your approach in general. But, if you are in an area that observes daylight savings time shifts or the server you're connecting to as a time server is in an area that observes daylight savings time shifts, NEVER use 1am or 2am or anytime between 1am and 2am as the time to kick off a cron job to synchronize times.

sync
sync(2) System Calls sync(2)
NAME
sync - update super block
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
void sync(void);
DESCRIPTION
The sync() function writes all information in memory that should be on disk, including modified super blocks, modified inodes, and delayed
block I/O.
Unlike fsync(3C), which completes the writing before it returns, sync() schedules but does not necessarily complete the writing before
returning.
USAGE
The sync() function should be used by applications that examine a file system, such as fsck(1M), and df(1M), and is mandatory before
rebooting.
