Rolex has topped the RepTrak list for the World’s most reputable company for 2016.
According to the Reputation Institute, This exercise is conducted annually to measure the reputation of the world’s 100 most highly regarded and familiar companies in 15 countries. Rolex this year topped the first 100 on the list as the only watch brand.

The process measures a company’s ability to deliver on stakeholder expectations on 7 key dimensions of reputation which includes Products and Services, Innovation, Workplace, Governance, Citizenship, Leadership and Performance.

Rolex was ranked 4th in 2015 but rose to 1st in 2016. Two other companies with links to the watch space do appear in the list. LVMH at no 47, down from 44 last year and the Swatch Group at no 53, up from 58 last year.

One notable absence from the RepTrak 100 is German automaker Volkswagen, whose reputation dropped by 13.7 points globally in the wake of an emissions scandal. VW earned a strong RepTrak Pulse score of 75 in 2015, good enough for 14th place on the Global RepTrak 100 that year, but dropped to an average RepTrak Pulse score of 61.3 in 2016, falling to 123rd position.
