Godfrie Poy (1718–1753) war ein Ausnahme-Uhrmacher, kein Engländer, zunftbefreit, der seine Werke ausserhalb der strikt geregelten Steuerordnung fertigen durfte. Er war ein hervorragender Uhrmacher und Beispiele seiner Repetieruhren befinden sich in mehreren bedeutenden Sammlungen, darunter im Winterpalast in St. Petersburg. Auch fertigte er eine Uhr für den Prince of Wales, den späteren König Georg II. Geschätzt wurde er besonders für die Fertigung von Stockuhren, welche heute noch in zahlreichen Auktionen zu Höchstpreisen gehandelt werden.
