I’ll meet the three of you in the lobby for the 7:45 show.
My appointment is for 11 o’clock, but I need to be there fifteen minutes early.

Sentence 2 is correct.
Why:
- "three" (a small number) is correctly spelled out.
- "7:45" is properly shown as a time with numerals and a colon.
Why the others are wrong:
- Sentence 1: "12" is ambiguous; use "midnight" or "noon" or specify "12:00 a.m./p.m."
- Sentence 3: style typically uses numerals for 10 and above, so "fifteen" should be "15."
- Sentence 4: it mixes forms awkwardly; better as "It's ten minutes to one" (words) or "It's 10 minutes to 1" (numerals).
