Folk lore refers to the introduction of the Ali Amjad Clock Tower, by Nawab Ali Ahmed Khan in 1874, an enthusiasm which was drawn from the one in Chandnichawk in Delhi, India. It was set up by a philanthropist named Shahzadi Jahan Ara. Ali Ahmed, the tower was named after his son Nawab Ali Amjad Khan.
Another story claims that Amjad Ali established the historic clock himself. But it was found that Amjad Ali was only 3 years old at the time the clock was built.

সিলেট শহরের চাঁদনীঘাটে সুরমা নদীর উত্তরতীরে এবং কিন ব্রীজের বায়ে আলী আমজাদের ঘড়িটি অবস্থিত। লোকমুখে জানা যায় যে, ভারতের দিল্লির চাঁদনীচক থেকে অনুপ্রানিত হয়ে নবাব আলী আহমেদ খান ১৮৭৪ সালে এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপনে প্রধান ভুমিকা পালন করেন। শাহজাদি জাহানারা নামক জনৈকা জনহিতৈষী মহিলা এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপন করেন। নবাব আলী আহমেদ তাঁর পুত্র নবাব আলী আমজাদ খানের নামে ঘড়িটির নামকরন করেন বলে প্রচলিত আছে, আবার এমনও শোনা যায় যে আমজাদ আলী নিজেই এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপন করেন। কিন্তু প্রকৃতপক্ষে ঘড়িটি নির্মাণের সময় আমজাদ আলীর বয়স ছিল মাত্র ৩ বছর।
