Godfrie Poy in London
Britten in "Old clocks, watches and their makers" mentions Godfrie Poy, active from 1718 to 1750:
A choice, small pull-repeating and alarum clock by him, said to have been made for George II when Prince of Wales...
In the collection of Czar of Russia in Winter Palace St. Petersburg was a repeating watch by him, outer case set with emeralds and diamonds..

Baillie adds - A fine maker. Watches in Damiano collection, Dennison collection, Feill collection, NY University.
Probably, regarding his Russian watch, this master was related to oriental markets.
