[Generational] At what price point does a watch start to feel like a forever piece, something you can pass down? (alien.top)

Problem is these things can be so expensive to maintain. If we're talking $100-$200 a year average, what watch do I really want to be putting ... $5k+ in to?
Someone said $1k might be controversial, so maybe I'm super snooty in I think $5k or more, I at least want it to be worth as much as it'll cost to maintain
I also want to make sure the company will still be around next generation. Christopher Ward? Great watches, I like them better than say, Tissot. But if I had to pick a company to choose a generational piece from - I'd have to give the edge to Tissot's longer heritage.
