The simple answer is YES, one hour will make no difference to any type of contraceptive "Pill".
You can even miss one day without increasing your risk of conceiving significantly unless you are between day 10 and day 20 of your cycle ( Day 1 is the day you started bleeding). Take the pill as soon as you remember but if you have forgotten for the whole day do not take double the next day.
If you are 12 hours or more late and between day 10 and 20, another contraceptive method (e.g. condoms) should be used for the next seven days, whilst continuing with normal daily "Pill" taking.
The risk is slightly higher with the low dose "Pills" and even higher with the progestogen only type that are often used to help with skin conditions. Different brands of combined oral contraceptives contain a different type of progesterone and/or a different strength of ethinylestradiol - Low Strength (20 micrograms), Standard Strength (30 to 40 micrograms) or High Strength (50 micrograms). There may also be differences in the tablets taken during the monthly cycle. The most widely used preparations are known as 'Monophasic'. In these, all 21 tablets are the same and a seven day pill-free gap is left between packets, during which time a period occurs. Preparations known as 'Bi- or Tri-Phasic' have different coloured tablets which contain different strengths of oestrogen and progesterone. These tablets must be taken in the order specified on the pack for each cycle. 'ED' (Every Day) preparations contain 28 tablets (21 active tablets and 7 inactive tablets). This allows a woman to take a tablet every day of the 28 day cycle rather than having to remember the 7 day break at the end of each pack of 21 tablets. Again, these tablets must be taken in the order specified on the pack.
I hope this helps.

It really depends on your pill, in my opinion, better an hour early than an hour late. But I think with almost any pill, an hour difference shouldn't have much affect.

Yes. Try to keep it as close as possible to the same time each day, but there is a variance. For instance, if you forget to take one for a day then you double up the next day. Just don't let it happen very often.
